Cooking in the summer tip

On the go all the time? Is it wayyy to hot to even think about cooking?
Try making large amounts of food at one time to last you through the week! Pick one night a week and call it your cooking night. Cook large amounts of 2 different recipes that you want for the week and store them in the refrigerator.
Try making things that are quick and easy to throw in a to-go container and can be eaten hot or cold depending on what you feel. (make sure you use a glass container if you are going to heat it up, you dont want to get cancer from plastic chemicals!)
Making pasta salads with chicken or lots of veggies is a great way to get in a light dinner that isn't going to make you feel sick in this heat.
Or try throwing a bunch of ingredients into a crock pot all day, you dont have to cook and it makes a lot of food that you can easily heat up later.

This also works wonderfully if you are a lazy grad student like me! It gives me a night to relax and not do my homework. I can have a full dinner during class and I'm not running to the nasty money eating vending machine. It helps keep stress low if you eat properly and keep your body nourished and able to keep up with you. It also covers my bases and leaves food for my cooking impaired boyfriend to eat (so he isn't cooking rice and beans and making a HUGE mess).
