It’s summer time, which means a lot of BBQing, cold foods, anything to not use the oven. I know I dread using the oven during the summer because we don’t have central air conditioning. If I do use it, it’s usually for baking something in the late evening hours. As much as I love BBQ foods, there’s also times where I don’t want it or maybe we need more propane. There’s also times where I want to spend my day at the beach and come home to a home-cooked meal still. That’s why I love my slow cooker and instant pot, because I can still have hot foods without using the oven.
You can make so much different stuff with the slow cooker and instant pot, from soups to desserts. I’ve got 85 recipes from around the internet that are perfect for summer time. No need to turn on that oven this summer!

![People come in all shapes and sizes!
I was born naturally muscular, tall and big boned and with that came lots of teasing; \"shaped like a boy\", \"thunder thighs\", \"broad shoulders like a boy\", \"big hands\", \"giant\" were a few of the popular things I\'d hear.
To all you who teased and bullied me, thank you. Thank you for making my skin thick!
I love my thunder thighs, I love my broad shoulders, I love that I have muscle definition without working out, I love how tall I am...
And I hope you eventually found some peace and love for yourself!](https://instagram.fphx1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t51.2885-15/e35/c0.180.1440.1440a/s150x150/139354378_876350799843162_4993163857669084495_n.jpg?_nc_ht=instagram.fphx1-1.fna.fbcdn.net&_nc_cat=106&_nc_ohc=G5DOA3dn-MgAX-PSE3m&tp=1&oh=239bb8f942fc6d54647ead0105d9f16d&oe=603447DE "People come in all shapes and sizes!
