Some Of My Favorite Cold Meals

• 1 lb garden rotini, boiled til al dente then rinsed in cold water until cooled.
• 1 small cucumber, diced.
• 1 cup diced pepperoni
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup cubed mozzerella cheese
• 1/4 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 cup sliced green olives
• 1/2 cup chopped tomato
• 1 small red bell pepper, chipped 
• 1 cup robust italian salad dressing
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

• 2 whole wheat sandwich wraps 

Mix together the following ingredients and spread on wraps 

• 1/4 cup mayonaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
• 1/4 tsp garlic
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Divide between the wraps

• 4 slices of deli turkey
• 2 slices of cheddar cheese
• 2 cups of garden salad  of your choice. 
• A sprinkling of parmesan cheese

See how easy that was? Wow. Yum. Makes 2 large wraps. 

Before I give you this recipe can I just say that I love eating sandwiches on croissants.  The buttery tenderness makes anything from ham and cheese to grape and chicken salad just so much better. 

Alright. I said it. Here's the recipe:

The gorgeous flavor of fresh chopped cilantro is what makes this dish amazing. It is a complete meal with a slice of bread or a few tortilla chips. 

• 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
• 1/2 cup chopped celery 
• 1/3 cup chopped red onion
• 1/3 cup chopped red bell pepper
• 1 large tomato, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped cilantro
• 1 1/2 cup canned corn, rinsed and drained

I hope these recipes inspire you to keep your oven off and your table fresh!!
