Oh, and if you're looking for somethin' yummy to make here's one I got from my friend Staci:
1 whole wheat Pita
3-4 Slices tomato
3 fresh basil leaves, snipped
Grated mozzarella cheese
Heat about a Tablespoon of olive oil in a sautee pan. Put the pita in and top with tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper, and cheese. Cook until cheese is melted.
Yum!

ha ha ha! look at that! :) lol i have been making that a lot lately. so good, filling, but not too much. i've been in a summer rut too i think. i've been throwing together totally random things. making more salads... i'll let you know if i come across some good stuff.
this week i grilled some chicken and kept it aside to put with whatever i come up with at the last minute.
Natalie I know how you feel. I don't like to cook in the summer period! All that really sounds good is to grill but I am kind of sick of that even. The one thing I do love about this time of year is the fresh produce so I love to make stir-fry because it is versatile and my kids will eat it.
Stir-fry some chicken in a little oil until no longer pink, add in some fresh veggies ( I like brocoloi, mushrooms,onion, carrots, pea pods, & celery, or whatever) Cook veggies until desired (I like things still a little crispy. Then mix the following sauce together and once mixed pour over the whole pan stirring to coat. Cook until bubbly and slightly thickened.
Sauce:
1/2 C. soy sauce (I like Kikoman's reduced sodium)
2-3 Tbsp. Vinegar (rice wine is good)
1 1/2-2 Tbsp. cornstarch
2-3 Tbsp. water
1 Tbsp. Garlic pwd.(or some garlic paste if you have it)
1tsp. ground ginger (or grate in a little fresh if you have it)
Add a few crushed red pepper flakes if you want it a little spicy.
