Here in NYC, we spent the day getting ready for Hurricane Sandy's arrival on the East Coast. While no one is exactly sure what to expect, we're ready with extra water, food, batteries, and flashlights. And, if the power really does go out, we'll be prepared with these 7 tasty ideas for simple no-cook meals that happen to be very good in emergencies, and also on plain old busy nights. On a related note, yesterday at Babble we rounded up 20 of our favorite fall salads, many of which are also healthy and satisfying no-cook options. Here's hoping that Sandy isn't as big as she seems, and that you and yours make it through the storm safely. - By Elizabeth Stark and Brian Campbell
