hmm, salad is my first answer. my second would be, rice in the rice cooker isn't so bad, especially if you make a big batch and eat it with meals during the hot week. then some kind of protien - chickpeas are good on a hot day. then microwave some frozen spinach, and throw it on top of those with some fresh red peppers, or tomatoes, and some kind of peanut sauce. when i'm lazy, i just put a glob of peanutbutter on and reheat the whole thing so the peanut butter gets gooier. also, throw some roasted cashews on there too. and anything else (mung beans? um, cucumber?) that happens to be in your fridge.
wow, i make that sounds so appealing, huh? but seriously, i could eat this thing practically every day, as long as it had the rice-peanutbutter-spinach combo as a base.
i also HIGHLY recommend putting fresh basil all the fuck over everything. having a sandwich? BASIL! salad? ton of BASIL on top! toast? BASIL! it makes everything tastier and is one of the reasons why suffering through the heat is worth it - so we can have good basil. and tomatoes that don't taste like cardboard. woohoo!
