Heather says:
It is hot and about to get hotter; there’s a heat wave on the horizon that promises triple digit heat indexes. Mr. Heather is working long hours which isn’t unusual, but during the dog days of summer it can be hard to muster the energy to put on a full meal.
Tell me, Home Eccers, what do you prepare when it’s too hot to cook and almost too hot to eat?
- Monday – Chicken skewers with a Thai peanut sauce for dipping, onigiri, sliced bell pepper and broccoli for dipping
Onigiri is a Japanese snack, rice and vegetables assembled like sushi. I’ve been experimenting with foods for the baby and these were extremely well received by everyone. - Tuesday – Taco salad
- Wednesday – Contributing pasta salad to a pot luck
- Thursday – C.O.R.N
Clean Out Refrigerator Night - Friday- Fried chicken, green beans, rice, gravy, salad
Stepdaughter will soon be going home and requested this. - Saturday – Sub sandwich night
- Sunday – Chicken pilau, green peas, corn on the cob, 1st birthday cake
I needed something that could feed a crowd with plenty of leftovers for Mr. Heather as I have to take the kids out of town. Yes, again.
What’s on the menu at your place?
Yum Onigiri! I've never made it at home. I am working on a post of my Americanized Japanese favorites..
The heat is about to kill me, inside the a/c, so the oven is off limits.
I've been stuffing the fridge with salad fixings. I buy deli luncheon meats in 1/2 inch cuts and come home and cube them up. I cube up different cheeses, too, according to some of our particular likes.
I try to keep prepped veggies that individuals can add to their own salad creations.
Matt learned how to make chicken salad, today, too, with grapes and apples.
Its like having containers of things that create a salad bar in my fridge.. that caters to everyone's likes and loves.
We are also doing breakfast for dinner. French toast and fruit, tonight. Muffins, too. I'll be posting links to the recipes, soon.
