What do you make when the days are really hot and muggy?  I know lots of us lose our appetites and don't feel at all like spending time in the kitchen, but you can't have bbq every day -- or can you?

I love potato and pasta salads, but it heats up the kitchen to cook them on the stove top.  Can you successfully microwave pasta?

I'd like to hear what you make and recipes for easy meals that don't require the stove or oven.

I like to pick up a bbq chicken from the store once in awhile.  Lasts for a few meals.
