Another week filled with health, nutritious recipes to simplify those busy, summer nights!
I can’t believe it’s already July 4th weekend. Maybe because my kids JUST finished school last week, but this definitely snuck up on me.
Is anyone else taking advantage of their local farmer’ markets? Our local one is pretty good, noting too fancy but I love getting all of the local produce. The recipes this weeks are so bright and colorful, I just know I can stock up on fresh fruits and veggies to make them ALL!
Monday
Kale and Sweet Potato Frittata from Spoonful of Flavor.
Prep Ahead: This frittata comes together relatively easy but you can save time by chopping the onion in advance.
Tuesday
Caprese Kabobs with Balsamic Glaze from Hip Foodie Mom.
These kabobs are a super fun way to serve a traditional caprese salad to your family or guests! Keep them fresh, or throw them on the grill just for a second. Either way, they are delicious!
Prep Ahead: they can be prepped a day ahead. Just cut and cube everything and refrigerate and assemble the kabobs the day of!
Wednesday
Thai Chicken Tacos with Spicy Peanut Sauce from Lauren Kelly Nutrition.
Prep Ahead: you can make the peanut sauce in advance.
Vegetarian Option: Substitute roasted veggies for chicken.
Thursday
Mixed Berry Balsamic Mason Jar Salad from Flavor the Moments.
Prep Ahead:The chicken may be made in advance, as well as the dressing.
Vegetarian Option: The chicken may be omitted to make this a vegetarian meal — just add nuts like toasted pecans or some quinoa for protein!
Friday
Cilantro Pesto Steak Tacos from greens & chocolate.
Prep Ahead: You can make the cilantro pesto in advance.
Vegetarian option: sub grilled veggies (squash, mushrooms, peppers, onions, etc.) for the steak
I don’t eat steak but I can’t wait to make these tacos with roasted eggplant and zucchini! That cilantro pesto sounds AMAZING!
Let us not forget our handy grocery list (this is such a life saver!)
Have a great long weekend! Happy cooking!
I have been hitting the farmers’ market a lot so far this summer. Between my garden and getting carried away at the farmer’s market I can’t fit all the produce in my fridge. This is such helpful inspiration for what to do with it all!
Thanks Katie! And thank goodness for farmers markets!
This meal plan sounds perfect, everything looks so yummy!
Thank you Marye!
Another great meal plan! That frittata looks so vibrant and delicious!
I know, I have my eye on that frittata too 🙂
Another delicious week at your house!
Thank you!
Loving all the colors! I love going to the farmer’s market downtown on the weekends. Summer is the best for that 🙂
Thanks Ash 🙂
Yes, we are in full farmer’s market swing over here. I love these ideas for using up our bounties! We have an awesome market I go to once a week. Those tacos sound amazing.
I love my farmers market, Christine!
Yum, everything looks delicious (can you set an extra place?)!
Come on over Heather! 🙂
That is a delicious week planned. I love the make ahead hints so that I’m not swamped at dinner time.
Thanks Karyn! Dinner time has become impossible these days!
Your healthy meal plans are always so helpful. This week my favorite is the kabob recipe.
The caprese kabobs looks out of this world! You are eating good this week!
So many delicious meals! You had a pretty tasty week 🙂
