'I don’t know about you guys, but when the weather is hot, I don’t feel much like eating, let alone cooking. So, I thought I’d share a few simple recipes that my friends and I have made that are both delicious and perfect for the hot weather.
Tuna and Macaroni
This one is a favorite of my friend Sharon’s. Her mom made it when she was growing up, and it’s an easy meal that can be used either for lunch or dinner.
What You Need:
Use as much or as little as you like based on how many people you’re feeding. But the best thing about it is that any leftovers you can just put into the fridge.
IngredientsL
- Macaroni
- Tuna
- Onion
- Celery
- Miracle Whip – This is what her mother used, but you can also use mayonnaise if you prefer.
- Any seasonings you want.
Cook the macaroni. Mix all the ingredients. Serve warm or cold.
That’s it. Easy, right?
So, what do you serve with this? Short answer – there are no wrong answers.
But here are a few suggestions:
- Celery
- Tomato
- Carrot sticks
- Cucumber
- Cheese
Give it a try. I bet if you do, you’ll put it into your regular rotation for hot weather meals. And, if you aren’t a fan of tuna you can also replace it with canned or fresh chicken.
