Summer Porch Supper

One of the best ways to beat summer heat is to eat supper on the porch or in the yard under a canapy of leaves. There is a menu just right for such a pleasant occasion, whether you've just the family or are joined by friends. It's easy to fix too. Make your star performer a mixed vegatable salad from the Summer Salads page. Make it ahead of time, and also some deviled eggs.

The only last minute hot foods are beans and muffins. Fix some Calico Beans or the Beans hotdish, make some cornbread or muffins, and serve some wedges of cheese. Top it off with a cold summer punch recipe.

Food Tastes Better Outdoors

Have you noticed that? Anything you cook outside tastes better because it mixes with fresh air while it is cooking.

One family I know in Southern South Dakota built a fireplace near the pond on their farm. Their best philosophy for a cookout is, "Don't hurry or fuss." Enjoy cooking your family's favorites, each one cooked to perfection."

I like to cook food bundles too. I wrap sliced potatoes in foil, fold tightly, and put them on the grill. See more camping and outdoor recipes.


Here's some handy tips found in some old church cookbooks.
