People opened their windows and used attic fans or sat in metal lawn chairs outside to cool off. On Halloween we did a trick for our treat inside of a neighbors house, without our parents around and got homemade goodies to eat as a treat.

I also buy apples in bulk from a local orchard and make Homemade Sugar-Free Applesauce to eat year-round. There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list. That is a lot of money, so I plan our meals.
