It's summer. I try to stay out of the kitchen. A cool trick I've learned over the years when you don't want your cooling bill too high is stay out of the kitchen. Grill everything and serve coleslaw and other types of salad. If I must heat up something if possible I plug a crock pot in outside. Potatoes I microwave for salads etc. If I have to boil water I do it early in the morning when I'm on top of things and remember I need macaroni or eggs for something.
I love to grill and get together with friends and family. We still use charcoal for flavor.
Here's a veggie hobo pack recipe:
1 stick butter
1cup BBQ sauce
1 med package of baby carrots
1 red onion sliced up
1 yellow onion sliced up
1 granny apple sliced up
precook the carrots halfway in water in the microwave
put everything in well sealed, double layered tinfoil and throw on the grill or campfire. if it starts to smell like it's burning it probably is, duh!
p.s. Don't let your hubby drink too much before the steaks are done.
