Title: What do you eat in the summer??? Post by: stea on July 02, 2008, 04:37:58 PM It may just be me, or the fact that I am VERY pregnant, but I have no desire to cook anything this summer. I just can't seem to get cool enough (60 degrees would be perfect right about now), and have no desire to have the oven on heating up the house. I have even given up my brownies to avoid the oven!!! And that is really saying a lot. What kinds of things do you fix your family during the summer that won't heat up the house? We have about been living on PB&J and cold cereal. The kids aren't complaining a bit, but it is getting a little tiring dear old mom. HELP!!!

Yesterday I threw frozen meatballs in the crock pot with a jar of Ragu/Prego and we had meatball subs with chips and salad. If we BBQ one night, I do extra meat and we have steak and provolone subs, or grilled chicken subs the next night. Or, I use any leftover meat and make quesadillas with chips and salsa. One of our other favorite easy nights is breakfast: pancakes, waffles, or french toast. They are yummy with all of the fresh fruit in the summer.
