Meal ideas for hot days?

[littlelamb]

I am totally lacing inspiration for things to cook on hot days when I don't want anything heavy to eat, my usual cheap and quick failsafes of pasta, potatoes etc are just not cutting it.I'm also 37 weeks pregnant and don't have much of an appetite. I'd appreciate any ideas for yummy stuff to cook now and after the birth when frankly I know I won't want to spend a load of time in the kitchen. Will be cooking for 2 adults and a three year old.

I had to laugh, because in active conversations, it said underneath this thread "Goats cheese tart, salad and a BIG glass of wine". Unfortunately, not a good idea in your case...

Fajitas are always very quick and delicious. Buy a packet with most of it in, just don't use too much of the seasoning...

MaryBS give me 3 weeks and that will def be on the menu. Fajitas are a great idea. I can't stand them too spicy at the mo, but made chicken ceasar wraps with what I was intending to make fajitas with and they were lovely.
