does your weekly "menu" change in the summer

meaning, do you kind of switch recipe cards like you switch closets??

I do.

I make a lot of soups and oven based things in the winter months.

now, I don't even want to see my stovetop going.

I make a lot of salads...and try to stick to things that don't take long on the cook top. we don't have central a/c...or ANY a/c so even boiling water on the stove heats up the place!

anyone have any "go to" summer recipes to share?

definitely. we try to use the BBQ more so not as to heat the house w/ the stove/oven. Plus then DH gets to do more of the cooking

yes more salads - more cold fresh items like mango salsa on salmon or cucumber salsa on spicy pork chops- things like that

Like a PP poster said, I cook everything on the grill in the summer months. Actually I start using the grill late March, early April.

I stop with heavy food like meatloaf and make more summery salads etc.

I have great tomato recipes such as a tart and sandwhiches on homemade foccacio with mozzerellla

Mine does!!! In the winter months I make a ton of soups, and roasts. But in the summer I dont want to be anywhere near the kitchen!!!
We as well grill everything! We have a ton of salads also. Plus we eat alot of fresh fish (that DH or FIL catches)
