We’ve officially entered the “Too Hot To Cook” season. While we’ve got lots of options to eat out or carry out in Verona, doing so every night of the week might be a budget buster.
So we’ve assembled all of the slow-cooker recipes developed by MyVeronaNJ.com food writer Tracy Bermeo over the last four years that you can make without turning on your stove or oven. Easy, no-heat cooking: Staying cool doesn’t get any easier than that.
