| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | AUGUST 2024 | 47 Happy Cookers Here's to the lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer: when your biggest decision is whether to have another scoop of ice cream or take a nap first. Bon Appétit… Raelene Kretchman Get ready for a sizzling summer gathering with The Happy Cookers! The Happy Cookers are thrilled to announce our next delightful get-together at the South Clubhouse! Mark your calendars for Aug. 23, at 11 am, as we gather for our monthly fourth Friday get together. This time, we're diving into the refreshing world of summer salads, and we need you to bring your culinary magic to the table. What to expect: August is the season of long days, warm nights, and, yes, some pretty intense heat. But don't let that stop you from having fun in the kitchen! Cooking in August can be a breeze with the right approach. Forget about turning on the oven and breaking a sweat. Instead, think cool, creative, and absolutely delicious. We are inviting members to bring their favorite summer salad. This is your chance to showcase your go-to recipes and kitchen wizardry! Whether it's a zesty quinoa salad with fresh herbs and cherry tomatoes or a protein-packed masterpiece with grilled chicken and avocado, we want to taste it all. And hey, if you've got some secret cooking tips or a bit of culinary wisdom, we're all ears! Remember, August is the perfect month to dust off that grill. Whether you're a charcoal purist or a gas grill enthusiast, grilling keeps the heat out of the kitchen and adds a smoky f lavor to your dishes. Plus, salads are a summer staple that keeps things light and cool. Get creative with hearty grain salads, mixed greens with vibrant veggies, and protein-packed options that will leave everyone impressed. Please join us for a 'Refreshingly Cool Experience,' because cooking in August doesn't have to be a chore. With a bit of creativity, it can be a delightful and delicious adventure. So come join The Happy Cookers, share your favorite summer salad, and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow food enthusiasts. Let's beat the heat together with some cool culinary creations! See you on Aug. 23 at 11 am at the South Clubhouse for a fun- filled, f lavor-packed gathering. Don't miss out on the deliciousness and the chance to learn from each other. Happy cooking!
