I've become a big fan of cold salads (and the grill, which I know you don't have access to) along with stuff I can cook on the stovetop. I recently did a very yummy cold salad with green beans, corn cilantro, jalepeno, and grape tomatoes. I served it with black bean quesidillas and home made guac. Oh so good. You could throw some chicken or shrimp in the quesidillas or go fajitas style and add some peppers and onions ... My other big standby is cold peanut noodle salad with chicken. There are a gazilion recipes out there and all of them are good. Oh and if i'm feeling really fancy I'll do a cold cous cous salad and get some of that yummy Indian bread. Other than that ... I have one word for you Sandwhiches ...... and home made sweet potato chips (although if you don't have a fryer, that can mean the oven again.) happy cooking!
