I don’t even want to step out and turn on my grill most nights lately.
Lately we’ve made deconstructed salmon nicoise salad; cheese/charcuterie (my teens enjoyed but then asked what’s for dinner); shrimp scampi; kale, cherry tomato and feta salad topped with grilled steak. Please share how you are staying cool and seasonal with your dinners. |

| Perdue chicken burgers in the air fryer last night. They take 8 mins. With salad for me and tomatoes/cucumbers/carrots for kids. |

We also live in an air conditioned house, but we do like to eat seasonally. That means in summer:
Cold soups Salads Meat and veg cooked on the barbeque Fresh Fruit salads Egg dishes (quiche baked in the morning and served at lunch) |

| Last night, I made a couscous salad with cherry tomatoes, pepperoncini, and smoked trout. Tonight, I’m making bulgur pilaf in the instant pot. Bean or grain salads are nice on hot weather. |

You really are a bad mom- the meatballs go in the toaster over with the nuggets and the broccoli steams in the microwave |

| How do you steam broccoli in the microwave without it getting soggy? |

Breakfast for dinner, taco bar, pizza and salad.
I also use the instant pot for beans, Chana masala etc. It requires minimal work and doesn’t heat up the house at all. We had peach Melbas this week with fruit we picked at a u-pick farm last week! |
