Recipes anyone?!
Recipes anyone?
I'm looking for some good summertime recipes. It's been too hot to use the stove/oven, and in the summer time no one really wants to make a 5 course meal that's taken all day to prepare.
Any ideas for something quick, easy, and cool??
Lunches?
Dinners?
Desserts?
Drinks?

I have been buying roasted chickens from the deli dept. at my grocery store. We eat the chicken for two or three meals. First, we cut off some slices to eat with rolls, potato salad, sliced tomatoes, and fruit. Then, while it is still warm I pull all the rest of the chicken off the bone. I make chicken salad from some (just add diced hard cooked eggs, mayo, and spices) and dice some to top salad greens. I buy whatever flavor chicken they've roasted - BBQ, sweet jalapeno, lemon pepper.
Another thing I do is prepare a lot of pasta. I cook a whole bunch at one time. Then I toss some with balsamic vinegar, halved grape tomatoes, cracked pepper, and cheese cubes. I use some mixed with diced cooked chicken, mayo, pepper, hard cooked eggs, and diced celery.

I just posted this today, on my web log. It's great on hot dogs, but I'll bet you can find other uses for it:
Tomatillo Relish
1 large-sized tomatillo (about tennis-ball size), or two smaller ones
1 jalapeno chili pepper, OR 1 red cherry pepper
1/2 a medium-sized onion
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp olive oil (approximately)
1/2 tsp celery seed
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Start by finely chopping the tomatillo, chili pepper, onion and garlic. A food processor will work, but please don't let the vegetables process into a paste...you want some little chunks in there!
Add the chopped vegetables to a container with a tight-fitting lid. A plastic food-storage container is perfect, as the relish will be stored in it! Add the remaining ingredients, and put the lid onto the container. Shake and swirl the container to thoroughly mix the ingredients. That's it, you're done.
Let the mixture rest in the refrigerator for at least one hour before using, to allow the flavors to blend. Immediately before serving, give the container another shake. Use to top hot dogs and burgers, or add it to a sandwich. Makes about 1 cup.
