I hate to turn on the stove or fire up the oven in the summer time. What are some helpful no-cook recipes and ideas?

Oh that sounds delicious... I so need to get my printer fixed so I have all these handy. A hint I found, buy organic cranberries... they aren't as sweet as the others...

Tried and true, a spinach salad with candied pecans, cranberries, and a raspberry vinaigrette. I take fresh spinach, add some raspberry vinaigrette, then crush some candied pecans with a mortar and pestle so it's a mix of powder and large chunks (I don't use whole pecans because it tends to be difficult to get them on your fork, but crushed, they stick to the dressing), then sprinkle in some dried cranberries and toss.

I so need to find the candied nuts you folks talk about... on my shopping list as I type. How would plain pecans taste?

You usually can't find them in the baking isle at the store (those are usually raw nuts). They are usually hanging around the snack isle where the peanuts and cashews are. In SoCal, you can find them in most major grocers like Ralphs and Vons. The ones I use are in a green resealable bag from Emerald Nuts, I believe. I've never tried it with plan pecans, so I can't really say, but I don't think it'd taste as good.

My family loves Muffuletta. For smaller families, you can cut this reipe in half and layer on rolls. I've attached a really old and not-too-good photo. I need to update that some day!
Muffuletta
Serves 61 large round loaf of bread (traditionally Italian)
1/2 lb hard salami-sliced
1/2 lb sliced ham
1/2 lb smoked turkey
1/2 lb sliced cheese
1/2 c chopped black olives
1/2 c chopped spanish olives with pimiento
2 plum tomatoes sliced
1/2 c Italian dressingCut loaf in half horizontally. Remove inside of bread leaving a 1" ring at edge. Layer meat and cheese alternately, I usually make 2 layers.

Oh this sounds wonderful... I bet it would also make a great appetizer if you cut the wedges small enough!
