Too hot to cook?  My favorite thing to do in the summer is to grill twice as much meat as we need for one meal, and then serve it sliced, as part of a cold salad the next day.  Add some fresh veggies, your favorite salad dressing, either vinaigrette or a creamy dressing will work, and either some salad greens or cold cooked pasta, and Voila, dinner is on the table in no time!
