We've enjoyed some beautiful June weather, albeit no rain. However it looks as though the mercury is going to rise into the 90s over the next 7-10 days. It seems that the higher the temperature goes, the lower my appetite drops--hard to believe, I know. That means cool food options! Here's just a sampling of what I planned for next week:
Chicken Salad with Mango
Pizza Bites with Marscapone, Ham and Pesto on Puff Pastry
Gazpacho
Santa Fe Wraps with Cream Cheese, Green Onions and Spinach
All these require very little oven time (thus helping keep additional heat out of the kitchen) AND they are make-ahead meals. Make it in the AM when the temps are down and then grab 'em up from the fridge when your tummy growls, the lightening bugs are out and candles (and bug spray) are the perfect accessory to dinner on the deck!
