I make salads. We live in WA and we do not have AC here in our home.

I just made taco salad the other day when it was like 98 degrees and 97% humidity. AAAHH, Indiana, the joys of having ALL four seasons in full force. I have been trying to use my crockpot a lot more to lower the heat when cooking. I even talked to dh about seeing if he would mind me putting it in the garage so that it is even less heat "in" the house. Sometimes it is just reheating leftovers or sandwiches!!

burgers on the grill,
chicken salad sandwiches,
egg salad sandwiches,
salads/caesar/blt/plain/greek,
Italian pasta salad(all salad to last a few days),
Potato salad,
Tuna salad with peas and cheddar cheese,
nacho's,
Ham sandwiches,
Tuna sandwiches,
Chef salads with lots of meat to last a few days,
Hot dogs,
Ravioli out of the can and some rolls and salad,
Beef stew out of the can and heat it up in the microwave and have rolls and salad or veggies,
wrap sandwiches of all kinds of things,
bbq meat on buns with cole slaw and side salad of some kind,
use a toaster over to heat alot of things instead of heating your oven up,it doesn't get the house as hot,

HTH.

I BBQ but even being outside is just too much at times. Good luck.

A nice salad or fruit salad, chicken curry salad. Something easy and cool.

I mad a ton of food since I knew it would be hot a few days ago and we are haing left overs and tonight we went out to dinner. I live in SE WA also and no ac.... it has been just to to hot here... Also we go to my IL's they have a/c and then I don't have to cook either.

We eat dinner late during the summer. I wait till it's starting to get dark and throw something on the grill, since it doesn't heat up the house any. We live in Utah, and don't have ac, either.... It's still too hot outside to stand by the grill for anything major, but a few chicken breasts only take a couple of minute, and its better then heating up the oven.

Grill everything. Thow a sauce pan on there to heat up an canned veggies. You can bake potatoes on there. I am from a camping family. SERIOUS camping family. And we NEVER had ac growing up. The secret with the potato is buy new BIG LONG nails and stick thru the potato on the long end, wrap in foil and thro them in the coals, if you are using charcoal grill or just set them ont he gate if using a gas grill. The nail helps with even cooking.
