I've decided not to have meals today, just mini-meals. Too hot: 92 here in the NY/NJ area.
I have put together the following and can go take a little here and there whenever I feel hungry. Of course, I will probably have a large salad tonight when I watch the evening news or Chris/Rachel/Don Lemon and others I have DVR'd. Yes, I watch 'em all, every night.
cold salmon with dill-cream sauce
salad, tossed greens with tomatoes & basil, celery, carrots, scallion
cold turkey salad with mango; has honey dressing
cold pears with ricotta-mint rolled up in a pita
cold stuffed sweet peppers. Stuffed with herb-cream cheese, some with seeds like sesame or chia.
stir fry rice
avocado toast mixture except on club crackers or chive-garlic pita crackers. A few drops of hot sauce and a little piece of crisp bacon on each.

I think there is some hard moldy bread, and ketchup soup for tonight.

(16,899 posts)I think it must be 10+ degrees under the trees and when there's a breeze from the river, it feels great. They are keeping my house cool, too, so today, I stir-fried Kroger Italian blend vegs, with seasonings, and then jerk chicken. There will be enough for dinner tomorrow. I've got my a/c on 73, and feel so lucky
I'll have a salad later, it's already chilling in the fridge.
All of your mini meals sound scrumtious! Thanks for posting

In Holland due to emergency travel (mother in law moved into a care home).
So, the Dutch relatives threw a last minute celebration in honour of my birthday. It was nice!

(1,704 posts)This is a good recipe, well suited to those of us who take recipes as suggestions, rather than as strict guidelines.
The guys here don't like brown rice, but I prefer it both for taste and health reasons. So occasionally I cook a bunch in my Instant Pot and freeze it in single portions in snack size baggies for me.
