hot!! It's time for some cool cooking recipes and tips!
1. Cook outdoors. When you have some time, perhaps on
the weekend, grill up several entrees at once. Then freeze
and you have your main dishes ready for the next week.
To help you out, here is a marinade recipe that I use for
the "cheap" cuts of beef and pork:
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Just whisk it all together and pour over your meat. Let
sit in fridge, turning occasionally, for a couple of hours.
2. Use your crockpot. You don't have to make a
complicated recipe. If you are short of time in the
mornings, just put a whole chicken in the crock, salt
and pepper, cover and cook on low all day. When it's
suppertime, all you have to do is add a salad and
you're done!

from your crockpot can be chopped and made into
a casserole that can be warmed up in the microwave:
Mix 1 1/2 to 2 cups chopped chicken with some
chopped onion, a can of cream of mushroom soup,
a can of cream of celery soup and about 1 1/2 cups of
cooked macaroni. Pour into a casserole dish, top
with cheese and heat in microwave until heated through.
4. Cook in the cool of the morning. If your family
just has to have that fried chicken, why not do it in
the morning and warm it up at suppertime?
5. Stop by the deli--I know this is not the most frugal
idea, but if you pick up a main dish, all you have to
add is a couple of sides when you get home. And it's
still cheaper than taking the family out!
