I’m looking for your best meals that require little to no cooking for days when turning on any kind of heat source sounds miserable.

Ina Garten has a Brussel Sprout Slaw and Turkey sandwich. It’s so simple and tastes so much better than it sounds. Plus, it is easy to change it up with additions. I also think of gazpacho, but adding some chickpeas or other beans to make it extra filling. Adding feta is delicious too.

What do you all do to eat well when it is sweltering outside?

    Chicken Caesar wraps. I cook the chicken on the grill when its super hot. The chicken can be cooked ahead and refrigerated. Notes on how I make them: I use boneless chicken thighs. I also heat up the tortillas in a pan on the stove on medium low heat. Throw some chicken, lettuce, Ken’s Steakhouse Caesar dressing, and some Parmesan on the tortilla, wrap it up and you are good to go.

      This is what I’m after, something that seems so obvious but for whatever reason I had a blind spot to. Looking forward to playing with this basic idea. Thanks!
