Vegetable Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce

102 degrees outside = no oven inside.    We are now into the summer heat (which I still prefer over the negative 10 degrees we had this past winter).  In this heat, I have no desire use the stove or oven, so this recipe is a perfect no cook meal.

Chocolate Brownie Pancakes

Brownies for breakfast?  Anything goes as long as a two year old will eat it.   These pancakes are chocolatey, moist, and perfect with strawberries.

Cranberry Avocado Salad with Candied Sunflower Seeds

Creamy avocado, chewy dried cranberries, and crunchy candied sunflower seeds combine to make a bowl full of texture and flavor.   This is the perfect summer salad to serve as a side dish or for a light main dish.
