I love fresh tomatoes sliced, fresh mozzarella sliced and fresh basil mixed together with some extra virgin olive oil...so yummy!
Buy a George Foreman grill at local store, it's very reasonable and cooks all your meats in no time...without heating up your house...just spray some pam on the grill throw your meat on and close the lid....no need to flip it just check it after a couple of mins. cuz it cooks fast...and another bonus it's easy clean up as long as you get the one with removable grills..
I agree with you on not wanting to use the oven when it's hot! So, I usually use the BBQ grill to cook everything - from pizza to burgers to sandwiches. Really, anything you put in the oven can be put in the grill, you just need to keep your eye on it.
Since there are so many things (like meats and dishes) to choose from, here is my favorite sauce recipe. It can be used on chicken, ribs, steak, ham, you name it!! ...
1/2 onion, minced
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup bourbon whiskey
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/3 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons liquid smoke flavoring
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 teaspoon hot pepper sauce, or to taste
In a large skillet over medium heat, combine the onion, garlic, and whiskey. Simmer for 10 minutes, or until onion is translucent. Mix in the ground black pepper, salt, ketchup, tomato paste, vinegar, liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, and hot pepper sauce.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 20 minutes. Run sauce through a strainer if you prefer a smooth sauce.
I hope you like it!! :)
You can roast a turkey breast or whole chicken in an oval crock pot. Tastes the same, no huge oven putting off heat. An electric skillet w/ a tall lid also works well for these.
Do you have a grill otuside? I will often do fajitas on the grill, heating up the beans and tortillas right there, too.

Easy summer desserts....................
Neopolitan Ice Cream Cake:
store-bought ready-made angel food cake (I use the one that has the hole in the middle)
carton of neopolitan ice cream
16 oz. cool whip
chopped nuts or toasted coconut
Slice cake into 4 layers. Remove entire block of ice cream from carton and separate the flavors into bowls. Soften slightly. Place bottom of cake on plate. Spread with strawberry ice cream. Add another cake layer and spread with chocolate ice cream. Add another cake layer and spread with vanilla ice cream. Place top of cake on top. Frost with cool whip. Press chopped nuts or toasted coconut onto top and size. Freeze. Work quickly when assembling. If the ice cream starts getting too soft, you may have to stop halfway through and pop it in the freezer to firm things back up. Really pretty when sliced and you can see all the layers/colors. You can also make the cake the same way except use vanilla ice cream only and mix a can of frozen pink lemonade into ice cream. Frost with cool whip and top with berries.
Twinkie Pie:
1 box twinkies
