Dinner Planner - Week of May 7th 2018 | Pamela Salzman

I had a great day in Minneapolis on Thursday speaking about health and wellness at the Beauty Counter Leadership Summit and then an equally wonderful time Friday speaking at the Galveston Chamber of Commerce annual women’s conference.  Of course, it’s always nice to be home and after speaking nonstop about the importance of cooking from scratch with whole, unprocessed foods, I got right to it and planned this week’s dinners:

Dinner Planner - Week of May 7th 2018 | Pamela Salzman

Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Braised lentils with brussels sprouts and creamy cashew drizzle from my cookbook

Tuesday: Lemon kale salad and seared salmon from The Sprouted Kitchen

Wednesday: No-fail roast chicken, fennel salad with citrus, avocado and ricotta salata(I’m going to skip the cheese)

Thursday: Summer rolls, Thai salad with roasted or grilled (depending on the weather) shrimp

Friday: Swiss chard fritatta, Asparagus salad with walnuts and mint vinaigrette

Saturday Lunch: 7-layer salad with blue cheese dressing (add in any extra salmon or roast chicken you have leftover)

Sunday: Mother’s Day!  Here are some great options that would be perfect for breakfast-in-bed to all of those deserving moms!:

Yogurt and granola parfait (try basic granola, salted dark chocolate granola, peanut butter granola or the grain-free granola from my cookbook)

Mushroom and leek quiche with sweet potato crust

Chia pudding: try vanilla, chocolate, matcha or lemon-ginger

Grain-free lemon poppy seed muffins

Blueberry oatmeal soufflé

Whole grain strawberry scones

Pancakes: Grain-free sweet potato pancakes, fluffy whole grain lemon poppy seed ricotta pancakes, buttermilk pancakes, multigrain pancakes from my cookbook

Whole grain buttermilk waffles

 

Here’s what you can do ahead if you need to:

Sunday

Make the lentils and store in the fridge, or buy pre-cooked

Wash/dry greens/lettuce and herbs

Make salad dressings and peanut dipping sauce for summer rolls

Make chicken or vegetable stock

Salt your chicken

Trim tough ends of asparagus and place cut ends in a small amount of water in the fridge

Tuesday

Shave ricotta salata, store in airtight container in the fridge

Segment citrus

Slice and prep veggies for summer rolls and store in the fridge (cut extra for the salad)

Wednesday

Blanch asparagus

Hard-boil eggs
