No one feels like cooking when the temps soar. You're hot, you're tired,you;re sticky.Why stand over a grill or stove? That only adds to the uncomfortable feeling. Order out. You can splurge and get those fries you've been or enjoy that cool salad, a perfect reward after a day's work.
If you're worried about the sodium and fat in take out, then choose wisely.Every fast food chain has their dishes' calories long with other RDI's listed. Your local Italian and Chinese restaurants wont have this however. Try to get lunches and dinners without a lot of embellishment. Nix the heavy sauces and cheeses. Try boiled dim sum dumplings with just a scallion and soy sauce or an old fashioned pizza sans the mozzarella. These don't have any extra calories. They're just good simple foods that are made with fresh ingredients.
I also recommend going to your local grocery for dinners when it's just too hot. You can pick up some really nice stuff, like grilled chicken or turkey breast There's also a variety of other dishes. like crab cakes and meat loaf with gravy. A lot of supermarkets, like the A&P,feature a large variety of salads.I love the already prepared asparagus salad along with their potato salad.
Close the kitchen when the temps soar. Give yourself a break from cooking. There's nothing wrong with ending a summer day with take out food,
