As the mercury rises, seeking ways to stay cool becomes paramount. The dog days of summer―from July to September―were named for Sirius, the dog star, which rises and sets with the sun.

For us, avoiding meals that require a hot stove, sipping icy tropical drinks, and slipping into a comfortable chair in the shade are means to a cool end. Trips to the beach, with cooling winds and water to splash around in, are a must. To help you enjoy the lazy, hazy days of summer, we've collected some cool recipes that beat the heat.
