Wednesday…again! We are running out of summer Wednesdays fast, aren’t we? That’s ok, fall and winter food tastes pretty good too. 


Let’s take a look at some yummy options for the coming week.

Sunday: Nothing says Sunday dinner to me like meatloaf. Bacon topped mini turkey meatloaves are a great option to go a little lighter on a traditional meal. 


Monday: Meatless Monday makes a return and this time I am doing a unique take on the ultimate delivery food: garden hummus pizza.  


Tuesday: I am always trying to add new types of cuisine into our diet so this Dak Galbi seemed like a great option to accomplish that goal. 


Wednesday: I hadn’t intended for this week to be so veggie centric but it certainly can’t hurt. Triple bean veggie burgers is a lighter option to the traditional grilled beef burger.

Thursday: Pasta night is back! This week we have ravioli with a white wine butter sauce on the menu. 


Friday: Veggies, veggies everywhere! I am practically drooling at the sound of a zucchini basil strata for dinner. 


Saturday: So, earlier in the week, we upended the idea of a traditional pizza. Now, we’re going to throw a curve ball at the world of quesadillas with a pizza quesadilla. 


Happy Eating!


Pssst…be sure to come back around 2:30pm (ET) for an awesome giveaway!  Seriously, it is plumtastic…you don’t want to miss it.

Whew! It has been a crazy past few days. We had a ton of activities over the weekend {including a super fabulous baby shower for a friend} and I am beat. Thankfully, not so tired that I couldn’t do some recipe cruising on the interwebs.

Let’s check out what I found.

Sunday: Ok, I’ve rambled on and on before about my love of Sunday “family” dinners before.  These meatballs with fresh ricotta just scream family style dinner to me.

Monday: How about a meatless Monday with a sandwich as the star?  I think an asparagus pesto grilled cheese would make a perfect Monday meal.

Tuesday: For weeknight dinners, the ease of combining your veggies with your meat just can’t be beat. I guess that is why I love recipes like this one for teriyaki pork kabobs.

Wednesday: This is going to shock you but I am throwing another sandwich into our menu here! This time, we’re wrapping dinner up with Santa Fe chicken salad wraps.

Thursday: Spaghetti is such a versatile item to cook with. We’re staying pretty true to the Italian roots with pasta puttanesca this week.

Friday: Hotter weather = lighter meals for us. Grilled chicken with baby bok choy salad is a great option for dinner on a warm evening.

Saturday: We’ll close out week with something that resembles a burger but, in reality, has a lot more going for it. Sweet potatoes and kale are built into these chicken patties to amp up the veggie content of the meal. 

As always, I would love to hear what’s going to be on your plate this upcoming week!

P.S. I made the red curry coconut stir fry last night and it was fabulous! We did use chicken instead of tofu to keep the main carnivore in our house happy.

It is Wednesday again! You know what that means…FOOD!

Let’s take a look at what I have on my must make list this week 🙂

Sunday: I love cooking shrimp during the summer. They cook so quickly and taste really fresh. Lemon garlic shrimp with chickpeas sounds like a fantastic option to try.

Monday:  Meatless Monday returns with a spicy black bean burger.  It has a yummy chipotle mayo too!

Tuesday: Oh, the idea of grilled flank steak with mango sounds delicious on a warm summer evening!

Wednesday: Cilantro lime pesto burritos: A unique idea and sounds like a tasty one…especially when everyone knows I can’t resist a good tex mex meal.

Thursday: Stir fry is another favorite on hot days because it cooks up so quickly which helps keep the house from really heating up. I think I’ll ease back into my stir frying with a simple chicken stir fry.

Friday: Bathing suit weather is here which means lighter eating around our house {at least for me}. Cannellini tuna salad sounds like a refreshing and light dinner choice.

Saturday: We go to {and host a fair share} of BBQs during the summer months. I fell in love with the idea of mason jar BBQ “sundaes” and figure I should give them a test drive before taking them to an event.

What is on your cooking list this week? Breaking out the grill a lot more or still sticking to cooking in doors?
