4 Super-Simple Suppers for When It's Too Hot to Cook

When the mercury starts to climb, our desire to cook dips. Some days it’s just too hot to spend any amount of time in front of the stove. But fear not—we’ve got tricks up our sleeve to help you get a delicious supper on the table without having to go near the oven. Read on for four of our fave no-cook recipes.

Fresh Rolls with Peanut Dipping Sauce
Chop up some veg and the protein of your choosing (we love a good ol’ grocery store chicken to truly avoid any sort of heat source). Then, whisk together the savoury dipping sauce. The hardest part is learning to use the rice paper wraps, but once you get the hang of it, this meal is a game-changer.

Charcuterie Board Supper
You might think charcuterie boards are for only for special occasions, but you’d be wrong. They’re also perfect for sweltering summer days. Click through for our tips on creating the perfect cheeseboard (and don’t forget the seasonal summer produce!).

The Perfect Muffuletta
If you’ve never heard of a muffuletta, we’re about to blow your mind. It’s a big-batch sandwich literally jammed with flavour. Assemble it in the morning, let it rest all day and slice and serve at dinner time.

Sesame Ramen Salad with Rotisserie Chicken and Celery
This one is kind of a cheat because you have to turn on the kettle to cook the instant noodles, but it only takes a couple of minutes. Rotisserie chicken and sweet, crunchy celery make this dish a standout.

How Many Kids Is Too Many Kids?

There was a time when massive families were the norm. We’re talking 10+ kids. These days, four or five kids seem like a small army. Now imagine being one of 17. Writer Beth Rush told us what it’s like to be raised in a family with this many people under one roof, and why she has decided two kids is the right number for her.
“Because there were so many of us, there wasn’t always enough attention to go around. While I don’t hold this against my parents, it’s something I carry forward into my parenting. Despite the challenges, the sheer amount of love and support in our home was extraordinary. These childhood lessons continue to guide me as I navigate the joys and struggles of parenthood.”
