It's Too Hot To Eat!!!!

What do you do when it's too hot to eat?I'm not referring to food straight off the stove or oven but when the temps reach the triple digits. Even the simplest things seem like chores and that includes eating. The appetite goes down and you're lucky to crave a mouthful of salad. The problem is you do need sustenance to keep going. The big question is how? What's tempting enough to get hunger going when you feel like a just baked cake?

Look to lighter foods. Salads really are the perfect hot weather meal. There's nothing like a grilled chicken or shrimp Caesar or vinaigrette based for a lunch. If you feel too wrung out to make your own , enjoy it in a cool air conditioned diner or chain restaurant. Chef's salad is another good choice. Thanks to the variety of meats and cheeses used you get a full meal in a salad bowl.

As much as you'd like to live on ice cream during these hot times, think about eating more fruit. Anything from watermelon to strawberries are healthier. There's less sugar and less fat. You can nibble or munch as much as you like,Also you can freeze fruit if you re craving something super icy.

Don't let the hot weather ruin your appetite. There are plenty of light and healthful choices to get you through this heat wave. You can't survive on just ice and water
