Answer 3

When it's too hot to eat is a great time to lose weight :) Keep your meal light and use the oven minimally. Make a muffaletta sammich and put out some chips and slaw.

My favorite slaw is with red cabbage, crushed pineapple, craisins, toasted pecans and red grapes tossed with a little of the pineapple juice and EVOO.

Answer 4

Paninni sandwiches are always good.
Taco Salad
Asian Chicken Salad
Chicken Wraps
Tuna stuffed tomatoes
sliced fruits and veggies, rolled meats and cheeses
with frozen grapes
and any of the above, topped with a wonderful root beer/vanilla float!

Answer 5

Tuna stuffed tomatoes. Your favorite recipe for tuna salad stuffed in large fresh tomatoes(they are abundant this time of year) Cut top off of tomatoes and scoop out the meat and seeds(don't throw away it will make a good salsa) Pat inside of tomato with a paper towel and fill to overflowing with the tuna salad, chill. When you are ready to serve, dress your favorite combination of salad greens with a little vinaigrette and nestle the chilled stuffed tomato in a pile of greens. Serve with buttery crackers and lots of iced tea. For dessert orange sherbet and a good store bought sugar cookies.
