Hot days + food

I know eating when you're hot is hard. This video (and the comments under it) may help you strategize & feel better about what you do eat

First off- my mom's gazpacho recipe because it's a classic

And now, some other things I've made that are cold by principle or don't require the oven (use justtherecipe.com to get simplified recipes)

Pesto chicken salad wraps

Broccoli Pasta Salad with tomato vinaigrette

One pot pizza pasta

Nadiya's Blender Beets (making extra sauce for freezing an instant meal some other day is built into the recipe. I usually make six meals worth of the sauce using a mix of canned and real beets.)

Pistachio pasta sauce

Chickpea salad with parsley, red onion, and sumac

Honeycrisp Apple Salad (yes, it is weird. America is weird about salads.)

Meditteranean chickpea salad

Cowboy caviar

Broccoli Thai Salad with peanut butter (I steam my broccoli in the microwave, but however you want it.)

Insta Pot Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes (is hot food, but is satisfying and filling)

Sumac Chicken Fatteh

Black bean hummus

Cilantro lime rice with black beans

Skillet Potatoes

1 can kidney beans + 1/2 cup diced red onion + half of a bunch of cilantro + 2tbsp olive oil + 1/4 cup red wine vinegar (let chill for two hours to marinate)

Crockpot blueberry cake (yes, this will produce heat, but keeps the oven off and gives your sweet tooth something.)

Gulab Phrini (Rose-flavored rice pudding)

Mango Lassi (a cold, creamy drink)

5 minute grape sorbet

No-bake lemon pie

I also eat a lot of instant mashed potatoes and fried egg sandwiches (toast, fried egg, ketchup) when I feel bad from the heat. Not everything has to be a "meal." Bits and bobs mean you're eating nonetheless.

Watched JKF Jr & Carolyn’s Wedding: The Lost Tapes, filmed by one of his best friends on an old video cam. It’s beautiful & moving, in ways I didn’t expect ❤️ I imagine her wearing her beloved signature scent, Abdul Kareem Egyptian Musk Oil, it’s simple, understated elegance a perfect choice. I wrote about a few years back, & there’s a link in my profile ❤️ #jkfwedding #carolynbessette #narcisorodriguez #thatdress #gonetoosoon #kennedys #musk https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz-mC5QFIK1/?igshid=azryzr1ce6bn
