All the neighbors brought out some meat to grill for their family & a side to share. It was a lot of fun & no one had to heat up their kitchen that day!Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01376285056110838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-2871015677527989532009-07-01T20:33:42.120-05:002009-07-01T20:33:42.120-05:00We cook as much out on the grill.

Crockpot cooking is nice but you still end up with hot food so we have been rethinking that as well. Sometimes we do pastas without a heavy sauce. When I do have to cook I try to make a lot so we have plenty of leftovers. At least that way I am only making the kitchen/house hot a few times a week instead of nearly every night.Betsy Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10535540984053460080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-36890350051844595562009-07-01T13:27:38.799-05:002009-07-01T13:27:38.799-05:00South Texas dictates that we have cook-top meals a...South Texas dictates that we have cook-top meals a lot rather than use the oven...but it's stil hot!!!<br /><br />emilyslinger at juno dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-88467945595051635102009-07-01T13:23:03.405-05:002009-07-01T13:23:03.405-05:00I use my crock pot as much as possible and use sto...I use my crock pot as much as possible and use stove-top cooking the rest of the time.

You can put your crockpot on the porch, if it is protected. That really keeps the inside cool.<br />I make sure when I do cook, I make a lot of extra food so we have leftovers to keep in the fridge or to freeze.<br />Also we eat a lot of salads and sandwiches in the summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-1479686750970426652009-07-01T09:01:09.288-05:002009-07-01T09:01:09.288-05:00I don't worry about it too much.
