Summer Dinner Ideas When It's Hot
First, if the temperature is really soaring, I like to avoid cooking in general.
Order takeout or go to the nicely air-conditioned grocery store and grab a rotisserie chicken.
But, if it's been a steamy season and you're tired of doing just that. Here are some ideas.
In general, if I must cook I avoid turning on the oven at all costs so the recipes I'm going to share with you can be made on a stove top, in a slow cooker or in a toaster oven or microwave or outside on a grill.
Note: one of the recipes I listed, Make Ahead Salmon, is started in the oven.
However, it cooks for no more than five to seven minutes, you could in a pinch, put it in a toaster oven for maybe three to four minutes or in a microwave for two minutes.
Fresh shrimp on a bed of crispy, warm tortilla chips, oozing with melted cheese and a spicy Habanero-Key Lime vinaigrette. A batch of slow cooker barbecue ribs that you finish on the grill is perfect for hot weather. Keep in mind this option takes a bit of planning. A spicy fish fillet sandwich is one of the easiest, fastest meals you can make. Not to mention one of the healthiest meals to make. You can customize your fish fillet sandwich to whatever spices you like or leave plain. #fishfilletsandwich #fish #cod #healthy7 Summer Dinner Ideas for When It's Hot
