Last week it snowed; this week has seen temps in the 80s. That’s Colorado weather for you.

When it gets hot like this, I hate to turn on my oven and heat up the whole house. So I pulled out my large toaster oven and set it up on the back patio. This toaster oven is big enough to hold an oval 3 1/2-quart cast iron Dutch oven. (I bought it at [Bed Bath & Beyond](http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&SKU=13646015 "Large toaster oven") — and it’s only $29!)

Then I created a quick and easy Glorious One-Pot Meal for dinner: frozen, packaged, organic turkey burgers slathered with last summer’s homemade pesto (pulled out of the freezer), a sweet potato scrubbed ![Turkey burger with pesto](http://elizabethyarnell.com/WP/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/turkeyburgerpesto.jpg)

and sliced thinly, and a bag of frozen mixed vegetables (Cascadian Farms organic California mix).

The verdict? Super delicious. Not a bite was left over.
