Now that the warm weather is here, what do you find yourself eating more than ever? I can eat these any time but for some reason I find myself eating them more now. I don't know why. I love veggie quesadillas(sp?). You can chop various colored peppers and onions. Add grated vegetables like squash. Add light cheese..just a little. They are the best. I dip mine in Paul Newman salsa and spicy ranch dressing. I used to be a vegan, and I feel myself leaning back to those roots. What about you? What do you want to eat more and more of?

I guess I probably eat more fruit in the summer since it's in season and a lot cheaper. I tend to eat a lot of corn on the cob too cause my in-laws grow tons of it, lol. I have to admit, I probably eat more ice cream during the summer too, hehe. It's just fun to have an ice cream cone when it's hot outside. It reminds me of when I was little. :)

With warm weather here i tend to concentrate more on drinks rather than eatables. I try to cook food which requres me to spend minimum time in the kitchen. We are 100% vegetarians so normal food consisting vegetables availabe in the summer season. However i have a large variety of drinks to choose from right from juices, coldrinks, soda a number of home made drinks, sweetners.

When the weather is hot my energy is all japped out . i cant stand the sun and its hotness. as the time moves from ten O'cloc to eleven and then twelve, i feel so exhausted and less in energy.i feel as if the brightness of the sun has taken all my energy and i feel feel like siting only.i dont even feel that hungry. i love to have liquid diet in summers , generally. it is difficult to stand in the kitchen and cook.i feel like i'll faint. i love to take juices,lemonades,yoghurt,custard, cold coffee, milkshakes,sometimes fruits,fruit salad with ice cream, and then if i feel hungry i make a sandwich for me. i sometimes make soup also for myself but it is very difficult for me to pass these months, i mean these super hot months.I am a born vegetarian only so i know different varieties of veg dishes. i love to cook and serve different varities to my guests, friends and all. but i dont want anybody in the afternoon time. it is difficult for me.it is so hot.it is fine in the evening because hen the sun goes down and the atmosphere is then too ok in comparrision to the morning and afternoon.

I am sure it is hot there in India. I have friends from India. We eat a lot of Indian food. It has a lot of pepper in it and that makes it hot. My favorite is Vegetable Biranyi and Palak Paneer. There are recipes online for cold vegetarian soups. I hope you can get air conditioning.

I am not sure why, but whenever it gets hot our I crave soup. I don't really get hungrier, or want to eat more, but I do want soup. Not sure if it is for the salt or what. Kind of strange. cheers,

Summertime makes me really crave hamburgers! Especially grilled ones, I just love the taste of a good old fashioned hamburger, not the fast food type, they don't have the great flavor. Also, chips and ice cream, WATERMELON! Oh I can't wait for them to be in season and really sweet and very very cold. I'm hungry now.

I have a watermelon waiting to be cut open right now.

That sounds delicious. I must say I do tend to eat less in the summer. I wonder if its because I am drinking more so I don't feel so hungry. You should try to go vegan again, I feel so much healthier for it. If you are short of recipe ideas, I have a recipe site with a lot of things that you may not have thought of: http://www.recipesforvegans.co.uk

I think we eat less because of the heat and because we are hot we drink a lot more cold water. Thank you for the link. I will check it out. I miss those days.

I eat more in winter. I way about a stone more in winter than in summer. I think this is probably comepletely natural, stocking up on fuel to keep warm.

I eat more fruits in the warm weather. One reason is because fruit prices are lower here in the summer months. I love quesadillas too. I cant spell it either. I like to make chicken ones with peppers and onions. Newmans salsas are very good.

I love fruit shakes, especially mango and watermelon shakes. I also love iced coffee mocha and Iced tea with milk or shall we say anything with crushed ice in it. Tuna sandwich with Lays Potato chips on the side is my midnight snack, gives me energy from my late night shift with my baby girl.

I always eat so much fruit in summer, especially peaches, strawberries and melons. Straight from the fridge they're really cool and lovely on a warm night.

There's warm weather? damn. Well when the weather is warm I actually eat less because I try not to do anything therefore I have an abundance of energy. This is a mute point however because the heat saps my will to do anything with this energy...I don't like hot
