This was one of the days that it was almost 110 outside with the heat index. Even grilling seemed difficult because you had to stand outside in the heat. Dinner was made in our slow cooker. It could cook all day and barely raised the heat in the kitchen. Add to that homemade bread in…

Deviled Egg Salad
I needed a dish to go with our Hawaiian Burgers (click for link to recipe) and my children do not like salads with mayonnaise. I love classic macaroni and potato salads with mayo. So, the trick became how do I get my children to eat this. I go back to when they are little kids….
Hawaiian Burgers
We love fruit on warm evenings for desserts or dinner. Now that it is so hot and we are grilling anyways why not use some of the delicious fruit we have on hand and grill it for dinner. We had a perfectly ripe pineapple to use up so we decided to make Hawaiian Burgers with…
Egg and Feta Bites
Another appetizer for dinner night in our house. The heat index is over 100 so we are trying to eat a bit lighter. These are perfect for a savory bite. Using pre-made shells make these super simple to make! Verdict: My house was divided on these. My daughter thought they were okay, she wold have…
Grilled Classic Reuben
I had one frozen brisket left from my St. Patrick’s Day stock up. They are perfect for this time of year because you can throw them in the slow cooker and let them cook without heating up your home. We made the brisket and decided we wanted Reubens with the brisket. The recipe that follows…
Texas Sheet Cake
I used to spend a lot of time at my best friend’s house when we were in 9th grade. This is similar to a cake that we used to make while at her house. I had never heard of it before but they made it all the time. It is a thinner cake made in…
Choose Your Topping Pork Chops
We made a deal that if we were done before dinner before the ice cream shop closed we would get ice cream and head to the beach. It was already 8:00 pm so we weren’t sure if it was possible. This meal made it possible. Super simple and we were to the beach before sunset!…
Grilled Sausages with Grilled Onions and Peppers
I am still keeping my trip report going on Earning My Disney PhD (click for link to blog posting) if you are interested. Since it is supposed to be SUPER hot this week our grill is the perfect way to cook right now. By Friday and Saturday they are expecting the heat index to reach…
Crostini with Goat Cheese and Toasted Walnuts
One of the things we like to do, other than grilling in the summer, is have appetizers and a drink before dinner. Sitting out with a glass of wine or sangria and a few simple bites can almost be a complete meal on those super warm nights. This is a simple bite that is one…
Loaded Potato Salad
My family does not care for potato salad with mayonnaise. I love it but it is difficult for me to eat enough to want to make it for myself. We had bacon in the refrigerator the other day and my kids wanted loaded potatoes. Well, why not make it loaded potato salad? Both kids were…
Grilled Salmon with Dill Sauce
Still on the grilling kick. Usually for my birthday dinner I will choose steak but this year after eating lots of beef in Disney World it didn’t seem as festive as it did there. So, I decided to go with fresh grilled salmon with dill sauce. Similar to what we had at Akershus in the…
Cheeseburger Foil Packets
Hot weather? Use that grill! That is my motto recently. Also that dinner cooks in a little foil packet doesn’t hurt on clean up either. There are so many dinners that you can make in little foil packets but I had ground beef out and we hadn’t had cheeseburgers in ages it was time to…
