Food That's Truly Cool

One way to save money and energy (and keep things cool in the kitchen) is to use the oven or stove as little as possible. This is why we were excited to find this exhaustive list of 25 meals you can make without cooking anything. While we're not sure we can go for the cold beet soup, we can always be talked into a tasty wrap, some hummus, or even some pasta salad.

Some obvious ideas made the list, too - like cheese and cereal - but it's worth giving the entire list a read to keep in mind the next time it's sweltering outside and you want to keep things cool.

And, our friends at The Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation have a recipe sure to help you keep your cool: Berry Berry Salad. Its cancer-fighting antioxidants are just one sweet bonus to this delicious salad that’s sure to be a crowd pleaser at your next cook out!

Their registered dietitians have also provided a collection of power foods that not only aid in fighting cancer, but boost the function of the immune system and support heart health too!

In addition to this scrumptious salad, check out which other recipes you can add to your dinner repertoire to get your plate in cancer fighting shape.
