With June in full swing, and most of the graduations and open houses done, I’m looking forward to some lazy days at the pool.  How about you?  In the summer I really stick to easy quick dinners, like salads or pasta or grilled items.  The crockpot is also nice because it doesn’t heat up the whole kitchen, like the oven would.  My sister has talked me into trying an Instant Pot, so I’m saving my money!  Have you tried one?  What is your favorite thing to cook in it?  I’ve heard that mac and cheese is wonderful, as well as teriyaki chicken breasts…
