Really, friends, there’s no new news other than the fact that my second book, Quicker Than Quick, is coming out on Tuesday.  No big deal or anything.  I’ve only been waiting for this book to come out since I turned in my manuscript last May!  Order it today for a great Mother’s Day or graduation gift.  Signed books can be ordered through my local bookstore, Pages.  Everyone is cooking more than ever, but kind of tired of cooking more than ever.  These recipes are all about quick, but healthy cooking.  Easy stuff, pantry ingredients, tasty food, cooking class tested and perfected.

Not to worry, I know you still need to eat this week!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: spiced chickpea stew with coconut and turmeric, with grilled naan or pita bread for dipping if you need a little extra

Tuesday: Chicken and veggie fajitas, guacamole  (can be made with skirt steak, too)

Wednesday: Kale salad with creamy lemon dressing served with grilled or sauteed shrimp.

Thursday: Lemon-thyme chicken, served with roasted potatoes and sautéed green beans

Friday: Deconstructed salmon sushi bowl

Saturday brunch: asparagus and artichoke frittata

Sunday: Grass-fed balsamic herb flank steak from my cookbook, roasted carrots – use this method, basic quinoa with a squeeze of lemon and olive oil and chopped chives or parsley if you have them.

 

Here’s what you can do ahead if it helps you:

Sunday

Wash and all greens and vegetables

Make stock

Make salad dressing

Strip and cut kale

Trim base of asparagus and stick bunch in a jar with a little water

Monday

Marinate chicken for fajitas
