It’s Too Hot to Cook (Again)

Here's what to make

We’ve reached the sticky days of summer, meaning more tomatoes and more sweaty rides on the PATH (especially when your train car doesn’t have working AC 🥵). And that means more no-cook recipes to nourish you without standing over a hot stove. These are the perfect summer meals for easy nights at home when you don’t want to make a fuss over what to eat—and best of all, they save well for lunch the next day.

Here’s what’s on the menu this week:

• Tofu Slaw Wrap

• Green Goddess Chickpeas in a Pita

• Perfect Chicken Salad

While my daughter has been at camp this summer, I’ve been reorganizing our apartment. Next week, I’m launching a short series to help us all get back to the grind—what to stock up on, what to purge, and what meals will make back-to-school easier. Is there anything specific you want to see? Let me know!!

And before we start, here’s my first no-heat menu from earlier in the summer—aka your reminder to make chocolate ice cream cupcakes.
