Happy Friday! And Happy (almost) July! Can you believe half of the year is gone already? Really…where does the time go? I hope you are enjoying your Summer so far. It’s beginning to get hot here in Indiana already, so our July Menu Plan has lots of grilling recipes, salads and we will be trying to use our Slow Cooker more as well.
Here’s a quick tip for you on a hot Summer day, put your Slow Cooker outside on your patio or deck and let it cook away, that way you won’t heat up the house.
Oh and speaking of tips…are you a Weekly Newsletter subscriber? If you aren’t, you are missing out, we share a recipes, tips and a dessert once a week with you. It’s an easy way to plan your menu.
