It's 96 degrees and climbing. What do you like to make on a hot day? Besides reservations. ;-)

Salade Nicoise, Joanie's shrimp and avocado salad, potato salad with capers, arugula & roast red pep

 
72 perfect degrees up here, but stroganoff sounds delish. crock pot roast beef for sandwiches is

what I remember from my NW Indiana hot summer days. and sloppy joes. also potato salad and sauteed sausages. stuffed peppers in the crock pot when the peppers are in the farm stands. BLTs---lots of those with Jays potato chips and cucumber salad. taco salads. macaroni salad with cold salmon and lots of colorful veggies is on the menu this weekend.

 
Happy Solstice, day late! we will be losing daylight from now on.

thank God for my room darkening shades----all this light makes me cuckoo for cocoa puffs, but we do love our summers anyway.

 
Make a pitcher of martinis...

garnish with olives, chunks of cheese, cocktail onions, and basil leaves (the salad). Drink. Then graze in the fridge.

 
REC Crockpot Beef Stroganoff

I think my sister said that it was originally a Weight Watcher's recipe, tweaked to omit the fat-free ingredients.

3/4 lb beef stew meat (or ground beef)
1/4 cup chopped onions
1 (10 3/4-oz) can cream of mushroom soup, condensed
1/4 cup low-fat ream cheese
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/4 t pepper
1/2 t grated nutmeg
2 T Worcestershire sauce
1/2 lb uncooked wide egg-noodle
1/2 cup low-fat sour cream

Brown beef in hot pan. In a 2 1/2- to 3 1/2-quart slow cooker, add beef to the rest of the ingredients except for sour cream.

Cover and cook on high heat setting about 4 hours or until beef is tender.

Turn off heat and stir in sour cream. Serve hot! Leftovers keep well for 2-3 days in refrigerator.

 
The steamed spinach was just microwaved frozen spinach with a

little dark sesame oil to taste. A little goes a long way - maybe 1/4 tsp per small box of spinach. Stir well before serving and top with a teaspoon or so of butter. So good and easy.
