How is everyone surviving the heat wave? I’m doing okay. Each time the weather gets like this, it affirms that I will never be moving south. I hate the heat and humidity. Plus I love the four seasons. I don’t even mind the cold so much, but I could do with less snow accumulation.
Anyway, that heat dulls my appetite some, but then I just eat snacky stuff. I like big salads in the summer:
I don’t eat salad dressing at home. Instead I have BBQ chicken on it. Maybe I’m weird, but it tastes good. 🙂
I cooked a bunch of frozen chicken breast strips in the Instant Pot. 10 minutes on high with a quick release and I have cooked chicken for the week and no heating up of the kitchen! Winning!
I eat more yogurt in the summer as well. Pretty much always the same way. Plain greek yogurt with fruit and cereal:
John has made a few meals when we aren’t just eating our own thing. He is always in charge of pizza Friday and then he tried a falafel mix by Knorr and these were pretty tasty:
Drizzled with tahini mixed with garam masala. The tahini was purchased to make our own hummus that doesn’t have garlic in it. Neither of us is a big fan of garlic, but we like hummus – so why not make it our way?
These are baked donuts made with Bisquick to which John added some protein powder.
We each had 3 of these and that was nice fuel for a 20+ mile bike ride that morning!
Lots of cold brewed coffee, too.
I will drink hot coffee pretty much all the time until it gets as hot as it is now and then it’s ice, ice baby.
I have to share this funny Instagram message I got. I don’t do much with my personal IG account, but I do find that strangers will follow it. In my messages waiting to be approved are often pick up notes from creepers. It’s surprising to me how many of those I will get. I never approve them or even respond at all. This one was the most over the top I’ve gotten so far:
Ummmm…. decline thank you. Seriously, does this stuff work? It must or it wouldn’t keep happening. Anyway, it certainly is good for a laugh.
Have a Happy Independence Day to all my American peeps! Stay safe and enjoy the festivities 🙂
OMG that IG message!!! I don’t get them thankfully ??
The BBQ chicken salad is such a good idea. I forget about doing that. I will be making that soon! Also the donut looks exceptionally tasty :)))
That IG message is OTT for sure. I get notes similar to that too and wonder what the heck they are thinking?!
I’m also with you with the heat, I would really hate to have to deal with it year round.
BBQ chicken on top of salad is one of my favorites! I use some blue cheese dressing on mine though.
The high humidity we’ve been having for nearly 10 days has finally gotten to me. I’m ready for a break, though I do like the heat. Thank goodness for window air units in the bedrooms!
I laughed right out loud at your IG message.
It is Hot and very humid in central Florida for seven months. One never gets used to it. That is why people are never out and about in the summer you stay inside where the ac is.
We are having warm weather for 3 weeks now with not a drop of rain which is pretty unusual. I don’t do well in heat but it’s not humid now and after 2 weeks I have finally adjusted to this weather. Rain is expected this weekend and that’s when our vacation starts boohoo. Hopefully it doens’t rain 3 weeks long 🙂
