Newsletter subscribers, I’m hosting an in-person meet and greet on Saturday 9/17 at 9:00 am in Manhattan Beach. RSVP for the address!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: 

 

Meatless Monday: Baked potato night with a great topping bar (vegan mac and cheese sauce, broccoli, salsa, black beans, sauteed onions are my favorites)

Tuesday: Skillet pesto chicken and rice, you can add anon-starchy vegetable of your choice or a green salad

Wednesday: Brown-Butter Miso Glazed Wild Salmon. I suggest roasting veggies on the same baking sheet using either asparagus or broccolini and drizzling it with olive oil and sea salt before roasting it in the oven and/or some sautéed mixed mushrooms with garlic. 

Thursday: Harira (I often leave out the chicken and swap in a pound of cooked chickpeas.) 

Friday: Easy Chinese Chicken served with a side of brown rice and steamed vegetables.

Saturday brunch: Kale, mushroom and brown rice bake  (or use whatever leftover cooked vegetables you have) 

Sunday: Oven baked gigantes beans with tomato, dill, and feta, with either a nice piece of fish or go vegetarian with some simple cauliflower steaks

 

Here’s what you can do in advance if it helps you: 

Sunday: 

Bake potatoes

Make cheese sauce

Make pesto

Make spice mix for chicken and rice

Wednesday: 

Make stock if using homemade

Thursday: 

Cook brown rice

Friday;

Sauté veggie mixture for brown rice bake

 

 

I have LOVED seeing all your creations of my recipes on Instagram. If you make any of my recipes, please tag me @pamelasalzman #pamelasalzman so I can check them out!

My cookbook, Quicker Than Quick, is on sale for $14.99 on Amazon!  If you have 1 minute, would you mind leaving a review on amazon?  I would be so grateful, thank you! Take a peek at my first cookbook “Kitchen Matters”!

So much happening right now!  Where do I start?? The September cooking class is UP.  The menu is: Oven “Fried” Chicken + a bonus recipe for Vegan Crispy “Chicken” Patties, Greek Salad with Olive Vinaigrette, One Pot Quinoa with Veggies and Chickpeas (my new obsession), Zucchini Planks (I’ve made these once a week for 2 months!), and Monster Cookie Bars that are actually flourless and full of fiber and protein.  If you are not taking my monthly cooking class, you are missing out on so much!  You know all these recipes you see on the site that you love? Those were cooking class recipes a year or two prior to being published!

This weekend is the big Drop-Off!!  Mr. Picky is going to college.  If you think YOU can’t believe it, how do you think I feel??  Because I’m traveling on Monday, I can’t do my regular Monday IG Live at 5.  If I get my act together, maybe I can try to do it on Tuesday.  I’ll post on Instagram if I can.  If you are looking for a little help with school lunches or even bring-to-work lunch, I have a free PDF that I created for you!  Click here for the download.

This is my son’s last week at home before we take him to college.  Yes, Mr. Picky is going to college.  I am literally teary-eyed as I type this.  Mr. Picky is my last child, and also a ray of sunshine and the kindest, most wonderful young man. I love having him around and truly enjoy his company and dry wit, his thoughtfulness and curious mind.  I am very excited for him to begin this new phase of his life, but I am going to miss him.  I just am.  Maybe I’ll convince him to partner with me on my IG live on Monday. 

On another note, thank you for all the positive feedback on my new newsletter!  If you are not on my email list, don’t hesitate!  I’m sending out a free newsletter every week with lots of great tidbits, advice, product recommendations, exclusive recipes, and more.  Sign up here!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week: Continue reading
