Well, we had a great trip in Boston and New York, and although it was an ordeal to get back home, we eventually made it!  My monthly online cooking class students, forgive me, but our class will be uploaded a wee bit after the usual 10th of the month.  But I promise, it will be worth it!!  IG lives will be back this Monday at 5 pm PT and Hubs will join!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Lentil and rice stuffed eggplant, green salad (click here for my favorite everyday salad dressings)

Tuesday: Grilled chicken paillard with arugula and lemon vinaigrette, solterito 

Wednesday: Pea and Mushroom Sauté with Mint, Summer garden frittata

Thursday: Chickpea burgers, grated carrot salad

Friday: Poached salmon, zesty potato skewers, sauteed green beans (I like to blanch the beans in salted water for 3 minutes, drain, shock in ice water, drain, pat dry and saute with shallots, salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon or lemon zest.)

Saturday brunch: DIY acai bowl bar (I put out shredded coconut, nuts and seeds, granola, fresh fruit.)

Sunday: Farro with roasted vegetables and roasted tomato dressing, basic protein
