July cool foods

[bex77]

Due to the extended heat wave I got on a kick of eating cool foods at home.  This was a winning situation in five ways: 

1) Saved money
2) Less exposure to COVID
3) Less time preparing and eating
4) Better food  
5) No blood sugar spikes

I ended up eating 14 meals at home since July 10!  

I need to remember to do this more often.  

Here are the ten times that worked best: 

1) Caprese cucumber salad
2) Seafood salad sandwiches with Cheee Chex mix
3) Lobster rolls with Quaker sour cream & onion rice cakes
4) Ham & dill pickle sandwiches
5) Turkey & Swiss cheese sandwich with Utz Cheese curls
6) Starbucks box with chicken, hummus, pita, carrots and peapods
7) Hot dogs on Martin's long rolls
8) Fancy flavored meatballs, cheese and crackers, carrots
9) Frozen blueberry pancakes & breakfast sausage
10) Fred's Franks kielbasa with kraut and brown mustard on a small bun

The first six required very little prep, and the rest involved a little microwave oven time. 

Everything came from Market Basket except the sixth one and the last.

If you have any other ideas for easy cool meals, please let me know!  

Here's to dinner innovations!
