The weather is warming up, and that means some days that last place you want to be is in the kitchen with the oven heating up the house. Luckily, there are many no-bake recipe options that allow us to make those delicious treats without suffering with the oven on. Today’s Saturday Cooking Sesh is honing in on these no-bake Granola Bars from Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Walt Disney World. These are great activities to do with the kids, so we’ve included Disney’s video guide as well, featuring Junior Chef Ava!
