heat wave eats

The heatwave Ottawa has been having all week is finally lifted. Sitting down without sweating in our very hot apartment was a struggle let alone making food using the oven! We had to be creative with our cooking methods. We used the BBQ alot and had fun with cold salads. Here are some of my tips for hot weather food:
