Who wants to cook in the heat of summer? Heat up the house even more? No thanks! Check out these no cook meals that are cool to make.
Quick easy dinners-no cook meals
Who else besides me is looking for a quality dinner for the family without turning on the stove in the summer? There are plenty of yummy things you can make without extra heat. And they don’t all have to be raw. Think of yummy salads, sandwiches, and cool soups.
No bake meals
I love to have a big salad for a meal. I don’t really like lettuce salads much, but I love raw vegetables marinated in something delicious. Add some cold meat or cheese or both and you can turn it into a meal.
A quick tip is to microwave some potatoes and add toppings for a quick and easy dinner. I love baked potatoes as a meal and so does my husband. You could top it with leftover chili, some cottage cheese, shredded cheddar and sour cream, some broccoli, whatever you like.
No cook meals-leftovers
I love how you can make a big bunch of meat and use it leftover all week or put some in the freezer and use it later. Saves so much work and clean up. It’s one of my favorite time savers.
Cook one pork roast and make 5 meals from the leftovers to avoid a ton of heat in the kitchen throughout the week. You can even cook it in the crockpot or instant pot for less heat.
Cook one whole chicken (in the crock pot or instant pot to save heat) and make 3 meals throughout the week with the leftovers.
