Hi Friends,
By the time you receive this newsletter, I’ll be in an improv workshop with Lissa and Nate of Raw Food Romance and a bunch of other dear friends who came to visit us and attend our housewarming party yesterday.
It’s been a pretty fun-filled weekend around here, starting with a glass fusion party Friday night!
I promise to give you a full report next week. But this week, I thought I’d keep things simple – and delicious – and share some new recipes to help you beat the heat without turning on the oven.
If you missed Episode 2 of Dinner with Chef AJ, you can watch it here:

And if the 4-Minute Pasta Marinara from Episode 1 of Dinner with Chef AJ wasn’t fast enough for you, perhaps you’ll enjoy my new:
3-MINUTE ASIAN-INSPIRED RAMEN
Both of these recipes are now in our weekly rotation. No boiling a big pot of water. No chopping anything up. Just the Instant Pot to the rescue.
Seriously, how does anyone live without an Instant Pot?
I have three!!!
And you can have a delicious dessert without turning on the oven, too.
CARAMEL CRUNCH BARS
My new Caramel Crunch Bars are ridiculously easy to make – and when there’s no preheating the oven, there’s no heating up the house!
Here are the PDFs for the recipes from the past two weeks:
Stay cool and eat well!
Love & Noodles,

Here are this week’s PUPdates from Shiloh and Trixie!
Shiloh and Trixie have an uncanny ability to find the softest place in any room.
Trixie, however, prefers to take the high ground.
She also hates to miss anything, so she has perfected the art of sleeping with one eye open.
And when they’re finally done resting, they look at us as if to say…
“What’s next?”
