I know, I know, of all times of the year to hit a cooking roadblock&#8230;.but it always happens.  I guess that I sort of enjoy fall and winter cooking and baking better than summer cooking and therefore make more of an effort.  Summer&#8230;.it&#8217;s hot outside, the children are starving, there are picky people here, and, did I mention that it&#8217;s hot?  So, when I saw this page linked on another blog, I knew that I had to mention it here.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2007\/07\/18\/dining\/18mini.html?_r=2&#038;oref=slogin&#038;oref=slogin\">Summer Express: 101 Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less<\/a> was in the New York Times last summer.  Check it out.  Is is doable for a family of 6?  Probably not some of these recipes, and certainly not in the time limit.  But I read it and it sort of expanded my thoughts about summer cooking, anyway.  <\/p>\n<p>Perhaps there is some hope for us and we won&#8217;t have sandwiches everyday, after all.<\/p>\n<p>Another cooking resource that I always enjoy reading and almost always using for recipes is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooksillustrated.com\/\">Cook&#8217;s Illustrated Free Email Newsletter<\/a>.  It comes every other week and is always full of their most popular recipes.  Also, it always features a seasonal or holiday menu and usually has product or appliance reviews, as well.  I&#8217;ve made so many successful recipes from this newsletter.  Try it for awhile and see if you like it.  You have nothing to lose since it&#8217;s FREE.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what have y&#8217;all been cooking lately?<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What to Cook?
