Bonus, it keeps him occupied for a long time!</p> <p>Other than that - I have been taking advantage of frozen veggies and steaming them in the microwave, canned beans, bagels (his current favorite I do in the toaster - bagel pizzas), Greek yogurt, plus whatever leftovers we may have in the fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-some-easy-too-hot-to-cook-meals#post-1735934 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:48:40 +0000 LuLu Mom 1735934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crockpot: taco meat, BBQ chicken/pork/beef, orange chicken</p> <p>Salads (although this never flies with my must eat meat husband) so we do cold pasta with grilled chicken a lot.
