No-cook meals
Since the potential for a hurricane is the hot topic of the day here at work, I'm thinking up meals we could make if we lost power.
Other than PB&J, crackers and summer sausage, salad, and cereal (assuming it's not a long blackout, or we use up the milk early before it goes bad)... I've got nothing. Our stove is electric. We do have a gas grill outside, so we could use that after the storm passes, but we'd be without a way to cook during the storm.
Have any no-cook meal suggestions?

Thanks for the help!
We're up to:
Chips and guacamole
Chips and black bean salsa
Salad w/ hard boiled eggs (if I find time to hard boil eggs tomorrow...)
Hummus wraps
Fruit salad
Assuming power isn't out for a long time, and we still have cold dairy products:
Cereal
Yogurt
Crackers, cheese, and summer sausage
Chicken salad sandwiches (made with canned chicken)
We also have a few meals that just require the grill. The grill is on a covered porch, so as long as the wind isn't too bad we can use that.
Now I have to find some place that still has ice for sale... I really want to pack our chest freezer full of frozen stuff and spare ice. I don't want to risk losing 200+ ounces of BM I have frozen in there....
Great ideas, Amy. I am going to stop and get some chips & salsa, some hummus, and eggs so I can hard boil them tomorrow!
I have a gas stove so I'm not too worried although without electricity so I'm not sure about cooking too much.
I bought some cold fully cooked chicken at TJ's today as well as some black bean and roasted corn salsa and I can put that over salad. I also just put a banana bread in the oven and bought a 5 lb bag of ice that is in my spare freezer right now to keep my cold stuff cold and from spoiling. I have some large ziplock freezer bags with frozen water in my freezer too.
