I'm having 2 slices of chicken. The rest of the plate is covered in 4 different vegetables. Ice cream with fresh fruit afterwards.
I have a small sandwich with fruit at lunch and cereal instead of usual porridge for breakfast.

Salad sandwiches, porridge, eggs, chicken stew with vegetables, fish for dinner, with rice or roasted vegetables and all small things on the side like avocado as it is, boiled corn, various cheeses etc. This is what we eat anyway

A lot of fruit and ice cream daily

Jacket potatoes in the air fryer, salads ( and we are very creative with ours - grated carrot with an orange peeled and diced, lovely home made coleslaw, home grown beetroot, chopped apple with nuts in mayonnaise, tinned sweetcorn, picked red onion all of which make the usual lettuce, tomatoes, radishes , cucumber go further and much more interesting.
Jackets are often replace with boiled new potatoes and maybe some raw shelled peas from the garden.
Weekends we probably put the slow cooker on so less heat in the kitchen and no need to stand over a hot cooker.

I am using some of the meals that we have bulk cooked from the freezer and trying to be inventive with salads. Mary Berry advises that it is better to use the oven than the top of the cooker with lots of different pots and pans. One tray bakes in the oven do work okay but it does make the kitchen hot! What are your go to meals when it is very hot?
