Easy Dinners for When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking

Do you ever have those week’s when you just don’t feel like cooking? We are in the middle of summer now and cooking isn’t high on my list of things to do but we still need to eat. When I don’t feel like cooking I try to plan easy to make meals.

I try to keep my easy summer dinner oven free. I hate to run the oven when the air conditioner is running too. It seems really wrong to me. The dinners on this week’s menu are all oven free.

We haven’t been having too warm of weather the last week or so but I know at this time of year it could change quickly, so I keep my menu plan full of oven free dinners.

This week we are having mainly dinner prepared in the skillet and one that is made in the slow cooker. I love using my slow cooker. It’s so nice to put everything in the slow cooker in the morning and not have to think about it until it’s time to eat.

We’ll also be making homemade hoagie rolls sandwiches. These are always popular at our house and I don’t know why I don’t include them on our menu more often.

What’s cooking at your house this week?

  1. I’m trying your suggestion to make a lasagna in the crock pot this week, as we are having a bit of a heat wave and using the oven will be too hot 🙂

    Hope you have a great week eating all your yummy dishes!
