I'm looking for your best meals that require little to no cooking for days when turning on any kind of heat source sounds miserable.

Ina Garten has a Brussel Sprout Slaw and Turkey sandwich. It's so simple and tastes so much better than it sounds. Plus, it is easy to change it up with additions. I also think of gazpacho, but adding some chickpeas or other beans to make it extra filling. Adding feta is delicious too.

What do you all do to eat well when it is sweltering outside?

This is the classic party/ tailgate meatball recipe. I, too, thought grape jelly was offputting combined with chili sauce and mustard, but it is really good. Yes it can get pretty sweet, but that's easily adjusted. Also a crockpot doesn't put out nearly as much heat as turning on the oven. And I consider this as low cooking because it's basically dump it all in, turn it on, and ignore it the rest of the time.
