Okay, its getting quite warm here and I know its gets even warmer where some of you live. My question... what do you fix for main meals when its hot outside and being in the kitchen is unbearable?<br />Bassy

Salads with lots of protien: <br /><br />Cold chicken, salmon, roast beef.<br />Grated cheese; broccoli, cauliflower, tomato, spinach, cucumber, big sweet onion slices, thin sliced celery and green onions.<br /><br />Sandwiches on homemade multigrain or rye bread:<br /><br />Vegan sandwiches. Vidalia onion and beefsteak tomato with a little mayo. Lettuce optional.<br /><br />Cannibal sandwiches (thinly sliced raw filet mignon or beef tenderloin, thinly sliced beefsteak tomato and thinly sliced vidalia onions, a little mayo and/or a little horseradish). <br /><br />Not everyone's delight, but healthy, delicious and different.<br /><br />Bon appetit!

Hmmm....<br /><br />Steaks on the grill, sliced zucchini w/butter & onions wrapped in foil, placed on the top rack of grill. Then, my wife makes her internationally world famous macaroni salad! It is so good, it could be declared its own food group! <br /><br />Butch A.

Re: Hot weather recipes

Damn JB, (Cannibal sandwiches (thinly sliced raw filet mignon or beef tenderloin, thinly sliced beefsteak tomato and thinly sliced vidalia onions, a little mayo and/or a little horseradish).). That sounds WONDERFUL (Without the Tomato's and Onion's though... ;-) )<br /><br />I'm definately a meat eater. Can't pass up a good piece of meat, chicken, or pork.<br /><br />The way I cook a steak doesn't use a lot of heat. It goes as follows.<br /><br />Put steak on grill<br /><br />5 minutes later flip steak over<br /><br />5 minutes put steak on plate<br /><br />Then light the grill and wave steak over it a few times.<br /><br />Craig

Thanks Mercury, now have to clean the coffee off the screen.<br />I will never learn not to drink and read threads on this board.

Re: Hot weather recipes

Thanks for the many ideas. I'll try quite a few of them. Hubby is a meat and potatoes kinda guy, so quite a few of these will give him the protein he needs to keep up with me during the summer. <br />Thanks all.<br />Bassy

Re: Hot weather recipes

Now that some of us are harvesting our homegrown tomatoes, there is nothing better than a good BLT. Or stuff tomatoes with tuna or chicken salad for a light dinner or lunch. You might want to try this tomatoe pie recipe too with a nice salad:<br /><br />Fresh Tomatoe Pie<br /><br />1 9-inch pie crust<br />3 tomatoes, thickly sliced<br />1/2 teaspoon salt<br />1/4 teaspoon pepper<br />2 tablespoons fresh basil, torn<br />1/4 cup chopped chives<br />1/2 cup mayonnaise<br />1-1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese<br /><br />Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bake crust 5 minutes and remove from oven. Reduce heat to 400 degrees. Line piecrust with tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, basil and chives. In small bowl, mix mayonnaise and cheese and mix well. Carefully spread the mayonnaise mixture over the tomatoes slices, sealing mayonnaise mixture to the edges of the pie crust. Bake 30-35 minutes until topping bubbles and begins to brown. Serve immediately. <br /><br />Serves 4-6, or only 2 if it's a main course!

Re: Hot weather recipes

A way we have prepared onions to go with the steak has always been a big hit.<br /><br />Take a large vidalia onion and use apple core tool to make a large hole in the middle. Place on tin foil, drop in a boulion cube, fill with butter, the pour cooking sherry over it all and wrap up. Put on grill before the meat at least 20 minutes prior, and cook. Burned in my opinion is better.<br /><br />Open up and place over the steak or on the side. Makes even a clumbsy fool like me look like a pretty good cook!!
