\"\"<\/a>The heat and humidity are seriously getting to me this summer.\u00a0 When you start sweating just from washing dishes, you know it’s dang cold.\u00a0 My appetite has gone down the tubes during the super hot days and most days I don’t want anything but something cold to eat.<\/p>\n

I don’t mind cooking but I really don’t want to crank the oven on for an extended period of time nor do I want to stand over a simmering pot of whatever tending to it.<\/p>\n

I have busted out the crockpot which is actually a very nice appliance to have in the summer!\u00a0 Just toss ingredients in and let it do its thing without heating up the kitchen and breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n

But I can only use the crockpot so much before I start running out of things to use it for.\u00a0 And it still provides us with a hot meal which sometimes I have no desire to eat.<\/p>\n

I recently asked on Twitter<\/a> what your favorite cold meal is for hot days and I got a lot of different responses.<\/p>\n
