We’ve been remodeling our kitchen and I’ve been without an oven since October. I can’t tell you how much I wish o could make every one of these recipes right now! Pinning them and hoping I’ll be baking again soon!0
Oh my gosh, Susan, that’s a LONG time to be without an oven!!! I’m sure having your dream kitchen will be worth the wait though. In the meantime, I DO have 13 different no bake recipes — just look up “no bake” in the search bar! Hope you’re able to enjoy some of those until you have your oven back 🙂
