Things are feeling very spring-like lately.  It’s not just the weather and the new produce in the markets, but we are finalizing summer plans for the kids and our family as a whole.  Very exciting!

Here’s the latest dinner planner to help keep you organized at the busiest time of year!

Monday: Cauliflower steaks with cauliflower puree and mint pesto, white bean salad with mint and celery

Tuesday: Greek sheet pan chicken, green salad with either everyday salad dressing #1 or 2

Wednesday:  Mixed greens with miso-ginger dressing, simple slow roasted salmon (use this method for baking- skip the salsa if you want), quinoa with toasted coconut and lime

Thursday: Turkey meatballs with brown rice pasta, store-bought or homemade marinara, roasted broccoli

Friday: Chickpea burgers with pita and kale salad with creamy lemon dressing (I will skip the croutons since I am serving pita and add in avocado and red cabbage)

Saturday lunch: Tortilla soup

Sunday: Cooking Light’s sheet pan chicken parmesan, sautéed spinach
