I like to cook lightly in the summer. Things like vegetable fried rice mixed with a good sauce usually hit the spot. I like to use corn, green beans, peas, onions, carrots and mushrooms. In one pot I boil all the vegetables along with seasonings like ginger, curry, salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, basil and some paprika until the veggies absorb almost all the flavors and water. In another pot I boil the rice until it is ready.
Then I add some olive oil (or coconut oil if I have some some) to the veggies pot and mix in the rice after draining the excess water from the rice. Turn the temp to medium-high and fry it for a few minutes. Prepare a good sauce by whisking 3 tablespoons of soy sauce with 2 tablespoons of tahini and 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Very delicious and pretty easy to make.
For another summer food/treat I like to blend 2-3 bananas with a cup of strawberries together. I usually add a shot of water in it too. Blend until it's smooth as hell and freeze it for a nice frozen and completely healthy snack.
