My teen loves to cook, but not to clean up. The cleanup is what keeps me from cooking much in the summer! I can't wait fall when we can use the crockpot again. We don't have air conditioning in the kitchen so heat from cooking plus cleanup time equals no fun. So you can bet if I can avoid cooking or get takeout, I will. One of the best things to do to keep from cooking is to keep a bunch of salad staples in your house.
Along with plenty of fresh greens (which we sadly didn't grow this year--maybe this fall!), keeping lots of chopped veggies, cheese and frozen or fresh meats on hand is super helpful. Grilled chicken breasts, falafel, shrimp and tuna are fantastic to keep on hand to toss into salads. Plenty of fun ingredients like sunflower seeds or cheese crackers help keep it interesting, too, as do the ingredients for a good salad dressing.
