Plus you feel fancy as shit. 😉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286831 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 19:14:37 +0000 plantains 2286831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: that would be incredible right about now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286659 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 14:19:02 +0000 gingerbebe 2286659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Chicken salad wraps. Chop up some rotisserie chicken, toss with chopped celery, almonds, red grapes (KEY!), mayo, mustard, and pickles/pickle relish. Throw on lettuce wraps, tortillas, bread, crackers. Throw in a side of fresh fruit, a glass of chilled white wine, easy peasy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286632 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 13:54:53 +0000 erinbaderin 2286632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BananaPancakes: Oh my God this sounds amazing.

When it's super hot I pick up a rotisserie chicken from the store, make a huge salad, and top it with the chicken. No turning the oven on!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286620 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 13:40:33 +0000 Charm54 2286620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Order pizza :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286617 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 13:38:38 +0000 avivoca 2286617@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We eat a lot of sandwiches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286602 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 13:30:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 2286602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On these nights -- club sandwiches, grilled chicken/hamburgers/hot dogs, or just straight up sandwiches and fruit/veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286547 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:42:38 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 2286547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing.<br /> Haha - we BBQ usually, so we don't heat up the house. Also a big fan of huge salads (buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store for protein). If its crazy hot and neither of us feel like going out or BBQing, we'll just order in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286521 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:16:59 +0000 Alivoo01 2286521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We eat out or order take out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286510 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:07:12 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2286510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Salads with chicken nuggets and lots of veggies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286508 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 12:04:06 +0000 erinbaderin 2286508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My favourite "it's too hot to cook" meal is this: chop and clean a head of green leaf lettuce and put a big pile on each plate, top with chopped tomato, red onion, avocado, and shaved deli turkey, drizzle with olive oil and balsamic, and then top the whole thing with shaved parmesan. No heat required. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286499 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:58:50 +0000 Mamag511 2286499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night we grilled some chicken and tossed it with some corn, black beans, lettuce and a chipotle dressing.

Only thing I cooked inside was the quinoa. Quick and easy dinner, and there was enough for lunches today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-cook-when-its-so-freakin-hot-outside#post-2286478 Wed, 09 Sep 2015 11:43:05 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2286478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How about grilling something?

What do you like to make for dinner when it's so freakin' hot outside? </p>
