[world_famous_recipes] Cool It! XP
From ALL RECIPES, RECIPE NOTES:
Cool It!
There are plenty of ways to keep the family fed without working up a sweat.
Meat without Heat. How do you get your protein without having to cook? Canned beans, tuna, and tofu can all be seasoned and enjoyed without applying heat to them. Alternatively, let the deli do the work for you -- stock up with a variety of cold cuts or a whole roast chicken to use at your leisure.
It's All Greek... A Greek salad of tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, olives, and feta cheese, dressed with olive oil, lemon juice, and oregano, and enjoyed with some wedges of fresh pita bread, can feel like a godsend on a sweltering evening.
Plan Ahead. Next time you grill, toss on some extra meat and vegetables and stash them in the fridge for tomorrow night's dinner. Stack them on focaccia bread with some goat cheese, or seasoned mayo, or toss them with greens and a simple vinaigrette, or pile them on pasta with a little pesto or fresh tomato sauce.
Cool your Noodle. Most rice noodles only need to have boiling water poured over them for a short soak before a drain and rinse in cool water has them ready for a refreshing noodle salad. Tossed with tofu cubes or leftover meat, peanut sauce, cilantro, and an assortment of fresh vegetables, you're in for a perfectly refreshing, wonderfully satisfying meal.
Fast and Fruity. Fresh fruit is the perfect platform for plenty of cool, no-bake desserts. Slice peaches, plums, melon, or strawberries, sprinkle with a little orange liqueur, and let sit at room temperature for a few hours. Spoon over ice cream or store-bought cake. Instant pudding layered with fresh berries or bananas is a super-quick crowd pleaser too.
May the spirit of Love be with you!
