When it’s hot and humid, cooking is something I dread! If you also need a break, try serving a No-Cook Summer Supper.
A No-Cook Summer Supper is composed of a prepared meat, drinks, raw veggie sticks (I used carrots and cukes), and a mixed fruit salad (anything you have on hand, or find on sale).
In addition to the cold sides, I like to pick up the prepared meat at the store. Shaw’s offers a $5.00 meat every Friday. This week the special was an 8-piece grilled chicken pack. Other weeks, I’ve seen rotisseries, roasted turkey breast, or fried chicken.
Add in some $0.50 iced tea, and you’ll have a real feast!
I like to lay out the platters of veggies, fruit, and chicken buffet-style, so that everyone can help themselves. This makes it extra easy on the hostess, who was tired and hot after running around all day getting free stuff.
A No-Cook Summer Supper ensures a delicious meal, no matter what the temperature is outside. Best of all, I didn’t have to turn on the oven and heat up the whole house!
I often do no cook suppers in the summer as well. Done correctly they can be very nutritious and my family enjoys them very much.
