Anyone have any hot weather recipes they would like to share??

We don't have central air so I don't like to use the oven during the summer, or atleast use if very sparingly. I have a few options, but most of my goto recipes will lead to a hot house and a crabby baby!

One I'm going to do this week is buy a rotissere chicken from the store and make chicken salad with it for sandwiches. No cooking involved!! Do you have any good ones?

Love this https://www.thekidscookmonday.org/2012/04/30/black-bean-mango-quinoa/

We also grill everything, pizza, veggies, meat, pineapple... everything.

Black bean, corn and avocado salsa, with chips. You could also make pasta salad and toss in your rotisserie chicken. Ugh, no central air? I'd be going out to eat and taking a loooong time

Lettuce Wraps. Shred some of the rotisserie chicken and add your fav raw vegetables: cucumbers, carrots, peppers, water chestnuts, avocado...ect. Top with crunched peanuts and an Asian sauce (hoisin, teriyaki, sesame dressing, peanut). Wrap it all up in a piece of lettuce. Serve with cut up fruit. No cooking & refreshing. Another go-to, no-cook dinner for us is rotisserie chicken, pita, hummus, and carrot sticks.

I've been using my crock pot a lot lately. Last night I made Hawaiian Chicken with Brown Coconut rice.

Hawaiian Chicken- 4 chicken boobs, 1 Jar hawaiian BBQ sauce, 1 can pineapple tidbits and juice, 1 onion cut in to "boats", 1 geen bell pepper cut in chunks. Cook on low for about 5-6 hrs. Shred chicken and let cook 1-2 hrs longer.

Brown Coconut Rice- 1 cup brown rice, 1 cup coconut milk, 1 cup water. Put all ingredients in rice cooker, set to "cook" fluff with fork. Serve chicken atop of rice.

We've done a lot of steak on grill recently. Either just as steak, or we've grilled peppers and onions to make fajitas or thrown it into pita bread with lettuce, feta, tomato, olives, etc to make pita sandwiches. This week we're doing philly style sandwiches with steak, mushrooms, bell peppers and onion on the grill. We'll put it on hoagie buns and top with provolone.

We have a pizza stone for the grill now so we've done a few papa murphy's pizzas on the grill
