Favorite Hot Weather Meals

Just got back from blueberry kicking.  Tomorrow will feature chilled blueberry soup as an appetizer.  I already committed to Mac & cheese as a main dish (making dinner for the family of the guy who ws in the accident about a month ago).

soooo, wondering how far you can kick blueberries?     LOL

Oops.  I meant blueberry picking.  Not sure if it was a typo or autocorrect.

LOL!  Gotta love autocorrect. 

I'm going to have to look at some crock recipes;  those probably strike a good compromise between not heating up the house and being filling enough for the dudes.

If you can stand doing a quick stir fry, I made lettuce cups tonight.  I did not use a recipe, but diced celery, green onion, orange and yellow peppers and mixed steaming greens I had on hand, and cooked with ground turkey, ginger and garlic, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, hoisen sauce and toasted sesame oil, and a pinch or two of sugar.  Ate it in Boston lettuce cups.  Any leaf lettuce that tears into nice big leaves will work.  Garnished with fresh cilantro while eating. 

Do the turkey first and set aside and then the veggies and combine back in the pan at the end.

I forgot about quesadillas! I use leftovers or shred up a grocery store roasted chicken, or go all veggie.

DS and I had tacos tonight.  DD went out with friends, DH came home from work late (just walked in actually), and neither of them likes tacos.  But DS really likes them, and I kind of do (I could get sick of them quickly if we had them more often).  I actually had a taco salad, DS had tacos.  And we had fresh fruit in the side, including watermelon mint feta salad.  And I had corn on the cob.  Only a very short time on the stove for both taco meat and corn.  Not bad for the heat.
