I had always lived on the East coast until recently. I've never really had to live with dry heat. It's a whole new beast to me. This week, for groceries, we bought little fingerling potatoes to roast, asparagus to grill, pizza dough, and soft tomatoes for making fresh pasta sauce... and then it was 97 degrees. Then low 100s. And it was clear that what we bought and planned for meals this week was not going to fly in this house that heats up like no other.
I'm going to start keeping a list of no-cook meals as this is new to me, and we kind of get caught off guard every September and it would be great not having to eat out every time it's this hot.
-cold tofu cubes with a soy/wasabi mix sauce, diced tomatoes and scallions, and bonito flakes on top
-spicy tuna fish with the siracha mayo we made and shredded carrots
-kale salad with peaches and buttermilk ranch dressing
We did another grocery run and now also have on deck
-avocado toasts
-smoked salmon salad
-arugula salad with goat cheese
Taking more no-heat suggestions...
