The East Coast is stuck in an endless heatwave. They keep saying it's going to break soon. It hasn't. We need rain. My flowers and plants are wilting and the city is dusty and dirty.
The heat is bad for my appetite. I don't feel like eating. Or cooking. It hasn't affected the appetites of my kids though, so I'm cooking things that are easy and light and that don't heat the kitchen up too much.
This week, we'll be eating:
**Toasted Artichoke Sandwiches--I'm not over my artichoke obsession yet. Mmmm...This meatless sandwich comes together quickly and also requires one little pan and only a few minutes of cooking. I'm thinking fruit and salads with them.
**Cheese Tortellini with Tomatoes and Corn--Another one dish meal that comes together quickly. Garlic bread to go with it.
**Asian Pork Linguine--A new recipe from Healthy Cooking. The peanut-honey sauce should appeal to the kids. Broccoli and fruit to go with it.
**Lemon Chicken--This might get done on the grill, or it might get done on the stovetop in a grill pan. It depends. Coleslaw and corn n the cob to go with it. **Tacos--A request by the H. Spanish rice on the side.
**Potato Crusted Chicken Casserole--This sounds like a middle of winter comfort meal, but I can do most of the prep in the morning when it's cooler and then pop it in the oven later just in time for dinner.
**Chicken Cheesesteaks--My husband asked if he could cook dinner one night and I said, "Hell YES!" These sandwiches are a little lighter than the steak version.
How's your weather? What are you eating these days?
