What dinners are you making in this heat ??! I loathe to put the oven on...

[99redballoons]

Hi all, running out of ideas for dinners in this heat. No-one wants to eat much anyway, and ds never eats much when it's something with salad!

What can you make that involves little use of the hob and no use of the oven? We have a microwave but I only use it for cooking veg and custard!

Chicken caesar salad

tonight I think I'm calling in the cooking of others
or the friday night takeaway...
otherwise pasta and salad
ham salad
etc etc

Beans on toast with cheese.

we have been living on sandwiches - or pitta bread pockets am getting fed up though -am being brave and doing a pasta bake for tonight - brave or stupid that is as no one will eat it anyway!

sandwichs of any description

mine would look at me in disgust if i put salad in front of them shame as i like it

Sandwiches, salad and pizza have been on the menu in the last week. Did fajitas last night, but ds(3) didn't like and ended up with a cheese sandwich afterall!

Just thought of omlettes, haven't had them for a while. Will also do the 'something' on toast idea. Thanks.

Keep them coming!

Takeaway! Yes! Good one.

risotto
omelettes
stir fry
pasta/pesto type
grilled kebabs
fish
bought roast chicken

bbq outdoors

I'm making home-made burgers for the children - 5 minutes in a frying pan and they're done!

These are all great ideas. Thanks everyone! Now feel I can cook (or not!) for another week in this heat!
