There has been a lot of discussion on my blog post from Sunday about cooking in this heat…solutions and recipes for dinner that won’t make you feel like your house is the oven.

I went looking to a blog I love but haven’t visited in a while: A Year of Slow Cooking. I found a great alternative to making meatloaf tonight in the oven…for an hour. I’m going to give it a whirl in the crockpot. I’ll let you know how that goes.

Then I went looking for Stephanie O’Dea’s cookbook on Amazon. Make it Fast, Cook It Slow is on sale! It is currently $13.99 (down from $19.99) and qualifies for free shipping. It also is available on Kindle…which I might just do as I keep half of my recipes on my iPhone anyway.

I’ve heard great things about the recipes that she has in this book, I’m a big fan of the ones on her website. You will find a lot of them are also gluten free.
