Heat wave coming!!!

Heat wave this week..Here is my hot tip for today.make a plan now to beat the heat.


1. Make a menu for the week. include things like coleslaw, potato salad, your favorite pasta salad and baked goodies. Think of grilled dinners like chicken, hamburgers and hot dogs. see also my early post about roasting a pork shoulder.Pork roast because you need time


2. Make a list and do all the shopping at once. Remember hamburger and hot dog rolls and lots of beverages.Also check to see if you have pantry items like mayo and salad dressing.


3. In the cool evening, boil pasta and potatoes, bake cake and breakfast muffins or bread. While waiting for pasta to boil and cake to bake, chop up veg for the salads. Store everything in frig.


4. Eat good food according to plan, keeping cool in the kitchen!
