Monday – Easy lasagna skillet.
Tuesday – Greek kale salad with grilled chicken. I grilled up some chicken strips for more protein.
Wednesday – Fish sticks. I didn’t make the avocado dipping sauce, but used guacamole instead.
Thursday – Ramen noodle soup.
Friday – Grilled salmon with avocado salsa. I used cauliflower rice, instead of orzo.
Monday–Skirt steak, musrhoom, and kale stir fry served over brown rice. A one pot meal = minimum clean up and more time to watch the Bachelorette! (It’s my guilty pleasure!)
Tuesday – Grilled Salmon with grilled asparagus and rice. Thank you to everyone who told me where to find cedar planks. We did try them, but I was really disappointed! The salmon did not have the same smokey, grilled flavor like when you lay it directly on the grates. It was so bad, I didn’t even want to take a picture of it or blog about it! So for tonight’s recipe, we went back to old faithful and laid the salmon right on the grill. I would appreciate any tips from people who use wood planks!
Wednesday – Panini sandwich with pesto, fresh mozzarella, tomato, and prosciutto. Another easy dinner. My husband and I worked putting up a fence around our garden tonight, so I knew we needed something easy to make. Panini sandwich to the rescuse! I used store bought pesto. Hopefully once our garden takess off, I’ll be making homemade pesto!
Ingredients Recipe is for two sandwiches
Thursday – Cheeseburgers with grilled squash and zucchni and baked beans. There’s just something about grilled veggies during summer! Can’t wait until I can use vegetables from my own garden! I season with just olive oil, salt, and pepper and use a grill basket to hold them.
Friday – Seared scallops with brussel sprouts and prosciutto. Scallops were on sale for $6.99/lb, so I decided to treat my husband and myself! I used the rest of the left over prosciutto from Wednesday night’s panini sandwich to add to the dish. It sounds like an elegant dish, but it’s very easy and quick to make!
Next week I start my CSA box and I’m so excited!! CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. To learn more about a CSA box click here to read about the farm I’m getting mine from. It’s a great idea because you are supporting a local farm and you get healthy and fresh produce! Everybody wins!
Monday– Roasted lemon chicken with orzo and green beans. The recipe calls for asparagus, but I had green beans in my fridge so I substituted them. I usually boil green beans, but sauteing them gave them a nice crispy taste.
Tuesday– Chicken enchilada. Happpy Cindo da Mayo! I’ll admit I’ve never made enchiladas before, but they sound easy enough!
Wednesday– Spaghetti and meatballs with a spinach salad. Good ol’ reliable pasta and meatballs. You can never go wrong with this. Recipes for the meatballs and homemade sacue can be found here!
Thursday–Kale salad with cranberry vinaigrette with grilled salmon. This salad is light and refreshing and tastes great with the sauteed shallots and garlic. I especially love it after eating a big bowl…or two of pasta the night before! And it makes a great lunch the next day. For more protein I’m topping it with grilled salmon.
Friday– Meatball grinders. Using the left over meatballs from eariler in the week to make this super easy Friday night meal. To make, I first heat up sauce and meatballs in the mircowave. Then slice the meatballs in half and lay on grinder roll, top with sauce and then shredded mozzerella cheese. Wrap in tin foil and place on cookie sheet. Broil in the oven for 15 mins.
