batch cooking/quick & easy summer meals

[alac1980]

hi all!

wondering if you can help me with something.

we're having a smouldering summer so far, much too hot to do oven cooking!

i'd like to do some batch cooking for busy days, as well as come up with quick and easy meal ideas that don't require the use of the hot oven.

any suggestions for both batch cooking and quick, easy meals would be greatly appreciated.

i don't currently have a crockpot, but it may be a worthwhile investment.

this week, we've made the following 'quick dinners'.

pot roast (waaaaay too hot in here for that!)
homemade pita bread pizzas
homemade submarine sandwiches
pan fried omelets
cold plates (ham, pickles, cheese, raw vegetables, crackers)
hummus with pita and raw vegetables
pancakes

Make chicken in a slow cooker and you will have a number of meals depending on how much you make. You can have it with vegetables or chicken tacos, or whatever.
