Easy No-Cook Recipes for Hot Days | Prepare Ahead and Beat the Heat!

[Michael Serrano]

Hi All,

I'm interested in any No-Cook recipes anyone here may have. It has been sooo Hot these past few day that I'm trying to avoid cooking for my show this Sunday. I may just do what Tom does and prepare something in advance so that I don't have the oven on while I'm doing my demo.

Thanks in advance everyone!

If you are going to cook something in advance, you could cook brownies for Tiramasu Brownie Squares and then add the other layers as your demo. I've made this a couple of times and it's always a hit. Another option is a fruit pizza or clubhouse chicken squares which you bake the crescent roll dough ahead and then top as your demo. HTH.

The month of June, I made Hot Pizza Dip (that I made and brought) and I did the pull apart bread when I got to the host's home. You could probably do fruit and a fruit dip instead of the pull apart bread. Or how about make your own ice cream sundaes? That would be nice and cool.

For my Cluster meeting last night, my director had made Sassy Salsa dip that she served with chips, veggies and pretzels. It was so good. I have no idea which cookbook it is in, but she gave me the recipe if you would like it.

I do the baking at home--Clubhouse Chicken Squares, Tiramisu Brownie Squares, etc.

Or, do a salad. Mandarin Pasta Salad is always good, but requires some cooking ahead of time (pasta and chicken). Or just use your tools to chop up a bunch of lettuce and veggies and then use the Measure Mix & Pour to make a dressing. You don't really need a recipe for that.

I've made the Mandarin Pasta Salad several times this summer and the Berry Wonton cups, you can prepare the cups ahead of time and just demo a couple of them without putting them in the oven. This past weekend I made the clubhouse Chicken squares and prebaked the crust at home. I also pre-made the Strawberry Margarita Squares and garnished them at the show.

The 7 layer salad squares are really good too. They are a lot like the Club house chicken squares
