It is a High of 90 degrees today where I live. On super hot days like this the
last thing I want to do is add more heat to the equation by using a stove or an
oven. Today is all about cold food and microwave and toaster ovens. Normally on
Saturday morning I get up and cook a whole breakfast, Bacon, Eggs, Pancakes,
Oatmeal etc., but because of the heat, today I had some nice chilled apple
slices, a chilled mango, and some cereal with cold milk. Good ideas for snacks
in hot weather like this are things like Lunchables or crackers and cream
cheese. When I was younger my mom would buy Hoagie Loaves, buy
several different lunch meats (ham, turkey, roast beef etc.), and several
different types of cheeses (American, Cheddar, Swiss, Provolone), and the
pre-made herb sandwich vinaigrette, along with all other sandwich toppings and
set up a little sandwich making counter for our lunches. This is a great way to
not only customize a great meal, but you’re saving money because you don’t need
to use your stove. This is a great Idea for lunch or dinner and it feeds a lot
of people for little money. For dinner another nice cool meal that I tend to
enjoy is a salad. I like customizable meals, if you can’t tell and salads allow
me to do so much to it. I can rarely eat a salad without chicken in it which
can present a problem when trying not to use your stove. However, Oscar Meyer
makes these pre-cooked Deli Fresh Chicken Breast Slices that come in several
different seasonings and are refrigerated not frozen so you can toss them right
in your salad, no preparation needed.
