Kitchen

some nights a bowl of cereal or eggo waffles.  Sometimes it’s watermelon, a few triscuits/cheese.  Or a couple pieces of pb toast.  It been hot!  And I sure have had a few lazy dinners.

I'm wondering if you're cooking a big dinner everyday, or are cooking 3 meals a day! I make one meal a day....hubby fixes his own cereal or whatever he wants for breakfast, and I do the same for me. For easy meals, I make tuna salad and slice some tomatoes - he makes his own sandwich. Or, I make egg salad, or put out some deli lunch meat and cheeses for sandwiches. He makes his own and he's perfectly capable of doing that.

He loves tuna casserole, so I buy frozen Stouffer's - a few minutes in the microwave and it's done and taste great. There's always grilled cheese and tomato bisque soup. Sometimes we order a pizza and salad. Manwhich sandwiches are always easy and takes me about 20 minutes or less and there's enough for 2 meals.

The heat doesn't bother me since my AC is always on and I don't go outdoors when I don't need to.

Even though it is still technically cooking something, several times I have fixed breakfast for supper.  Neither the husband or I eat eggs or a big breakfast routinely so it is something a little different that doesn't take that much time or effort to get on the table.  lol  Usually it is simple like scrambled eggs, smoky link sausages, and toast.  But it works.

With all the homegrown tomatoes in season now I have also fixed tuna stuffed tomatoes.  Little effort that doesn't heat up the kitchen in addition to being cool and refreshing.  Will usually also have various sliced melons. 

Speaking of which, one night I had fresh melon slices (cantaloupe and honeydew)  & berries with a cheese and cracker plate.  It was blazing hot that day with high humidity.  So it hit the spot along with a big pitcher of iced tea.

Kraft mac and cheese in the blue and yellow box is complicated enough for those nights.

I agree!

Salad, Sandwich, Fruit, Cheese & Crackers, Smoothie, Cereal etc.

Picked up a smoked tri-tip from the local meat market Sat. Made some au jus so we can slice thin to eat on hawaiian sweet rolls. So good & easy with no cooking except the au jus which only takes a mins to make.

When we buy the tri-tip we can eat meals at least 3 days & DH can take some to work. He eats potato salad & beans with it I eat fruit with it. The meat market makes different things on different days so if we don't feel like cooking we can pick up something there. It does come in handy when it's hot.
