I need meal ideas

[nageov3t]

the heat has me totally zapped... I need some ideas for meals that don't require cooking. all I've eaten in the past week has been cereal and hotdogs (45 calorie turkey hotdogs on 110 calorie whole wheat buns).

Buy an air conditioner.

I have an air conditioner, but it's not in my kitchen.

I'm not buying a separate AC unit just for my kitchen ever (and especially not when I'm moving in ~3 weeks)

Grill outside? Some chopped potatoes, rosemary, garlic, and olive oil in tin foil for a few minutes on the grill works wonders.

When I was a kid, we would eat cantaloupe and vanilla ice cream.

Salads, everything from regular salads to potato, macaroni, and also fruit salads. Load it up with whatever you like (meat, cheese, other veggies, etc). Fruit would be good as well. You could do the same thing and make your own sandwiches.

Another good idea is get stuff to make smoothies. Properly done (load up with real fruit, buy bags of it frozen) it'd be filling and not too high in calories.

Bell Peppers stuffed with Brussel Sprouts. I know you'll like it! Trust me. :awe:

Maybe it's time to pickup the Phone and order Pizza or something?

hah I cooked brussel sprouts once but they came out pretty bad.

roasted brussel sprouts! the recipe said they'd be crunchy! I like just about anything that's crunchy, but even roasted they were pure mush.

Ya, don't try that suggestion. I see that I mixed you up with lxskllr from the other thread. All you L named guys look the same to me.

Hmmmm that looks really good except I'd have to replace the Cantalope with something I'm not allergic to.

Those hot dogs will pack more fat than an entire poached entire chicken breast, and the "whole wheat" buns are probably made with genetically modified "wheat" with caramel coloring, pretty much as healthy as white bread.

GM foods don't bother me at all... they had like 40 fewer calories than their white bread counterparts.

the hot dog is fat free and 45 calories.

there aren't many 150 calorie meals that can keep me full for several hours.

Here's something I've been making lately that's been well received and is a nice dish for summer. It's nothing new, but it is my own spin on it.

TLC's Couscous Salad

1-1/2 cups (when uncooked) pearl couscous (also called Israeli couscous or couscous grande)
1 tomato, deseeded and diced medium
1 cucumber (hothouse or regular), peeled, deseeded and diced medium
1 orange or yellow pepper, cored and diced medium-fine
1/2 red onion, diced fine
1/4 cup extra virgin oilve oil
Juice of 2 limes
1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup (8 oz) crumbled Feta cheese
1/4 cup (4 oz) grated Parmesan cheese
1/8 cup of chopped parsley

Cook the couscous per the package directions. When done, drain, then place the couscous in cold water for a couple of minutes to cool it down, then drain again.

Combine the olive oil, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine.

Add all of the vegetable ingredients and couscous, along the with parsley, in a bowl. Drizzle the lime juice/olive oil mixture over the contents. Mix well.

Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Mix in the Feta and Parmesan cheeses. Fine tune with salt and pepper.

If your friends/family taste it they will fight over the leftovers. I guarantee it.
