What are you all eating in this heat?!

[stopknockingonmydoor]

Doing my meal plan for this week and struggling for easy meal ideas that we'll fancy in the heat.

What are you all planning?

Chicken and avocado salad with chili and lime dressing. Bit healthy for my DH but I love a crunchy salad in this heat. I've got loads of veg to eat up tho but I'm scared to turn the oven on

Friday we had spaghetti with king prawns in olive oil with garlic, chilli, lemon and parsley.

Saturday was steak with garlic butter and salad.

Yesterday we had grilled lamb with flatbreads, harissa, cucumber, and yoghurt/garlic sauce.

Today I’m roasting a chicken (thankfully we live in an old house and the kitchen stays cool) and we’ll have it with a potato salad/vinaigrette.

Tomorrow will be chicken Caesar salad.

Wednesday will be roasted sea bass with red curry paste/Thai aromatics, with jasmine rice.

Thursday will be pasta with meatballs in a tomato sauce, with roasted med veg.

Friday will be pork gyoza/dumplings with a noodle and veg stir fry (that is, if I’m in the mood to make the wrappers from scratch...), otherwise I’ll probably do a tagine instead.

If I had easy access to some good avocados I would definitely have made something tex-mex ish...

Last night we had fully loaded burgers,j/potatoes and salads.
Tonight were having a Chinese take away.
Other nights we'll have Chicken Caesar Salad,Lamb Chops,minted new potatoes and vegetables,H/M Quiche and salads,Chinese Salmon,noodles and veg,Ploughmans,Pizzas and Salad,Large baked potatoes,fillings and salads,we'll also do a few bbqs and I'm taking us all out for dinner once a week over the 6 weeks holidays.

Salad, watermelon, yogurt with frozen berries

I went to Aldi this morning ,it was bliss as icy cold air con, I bought tons of salad and a ready cooked chicken, steaks,ready cooked salmon fillets,nice bread, sorted

Steak, homemade potato salad and side salad followed with lots of Ruby magnums as we've discovered the kids hate those

If it was down to me it would be mainly muesli, with very cold milk.

The rest of my family seem to require actual proper meals though

It's chicken fajitas tonight.

What I want is a big bag of crisps with cold sour cream dip but we’re on a healthy eating kick so alas it’s not to be

We were going to have pasta, but I’ve just downed tools and invoked beans on toast.

However the kids are having french stuck and milkshakes. I’m happy they’re eating something

Plan for this week is (cold) pizza and green salad, quiche and potato salad, flatbreads with tapenade and houmous, pickles and cold meats, filled ravioli with tomato salad.

Fruit and ice cream afterwards.

Basically the oven is not going on!

@longtompot can I come and live at your house?

Ice lollies, fruit and yoghurt mainly.

Last night supper, slices of aubergine in a lemon garlic vinaigrette, then grilled with slices of feta on top. Some wholemeal bread and a very weak g&t with ice and lemon.

My appetite disappears when it's hot.

We had roast chicken with new potatoes and veg yesterday.
Today its prawn linguine
Sweet chilli chicken stir fry
Sausages
Curry

Tbh it's not any different to any other time of the year. My appetite doesn't change with the weather really and I sort of hate salad.

yesterday: cereal for breakfast, BBQ lunch, bit of pizza later. lots of pepsi and a cornetto

today: no breakfast, 1/4 pizza, half pack of crisps. bit of icecream.
lots of drinks. some grapes
not hungry at all

Having a pot noodle tonight

yesterday was cold roast chicken with salads.

today will be prawn, lemon and chilli linguine with salad.

General salad with a couple of cold carby / veg sides I made -

Chickpeas with chilli oil & feta
Pasta with pesto
Roasted broccoli with chilli flakes
Green beans & asparagus with some chilli flakes and lemon juice

I do enjoy a bit of chilli…

Haha sure, for the food or the gin?

I usually love a good salad and have plenty in my repertoire, but I’m beyond that now. My diet is now ice poles, salt and vinegar rice cakes and watermelon.

I have been cooking everything we want to eat in the instant pot first thing as it doesnt heat the kitchen up.
Kitchen has the sun ot from lunchtime until around 6pm and it is unbearable.

Tomorrow I think I'll pop to aldi first thing and get some pizzas and more salad.
I hate cooking in this weather. Really despise it.

I was scheduled to make fish tacos today (or chicken ones) but I have been reading the meal train thread and now REALLY want homemade lasagne.

Last night we had a roast chicken with warm salad potatoes, tzatziki, cooked beetroots, french stick, olives, hummus and a bagged bistro salad.

A roast dinner with potatoes and baguette on the side in this heat.

Holy hell. I couldn't.

Watermelon, halloumi and mint salad. YUM!
