If you don’t know what you’re making for Father’s Day, check out last week’s dinner planner for some inspo and get on it!  My older daughter is coming home on Sunday for 10 days and I can’t wait.  We will all be together again even if it’s for a short bit.

This is an amazing time of year for produce.  I’ve had success with early heirloom tomatoes, watermelon, peaches, and zucchini.  If you have great ingredients, you can keep it really simple!  Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Tortilla soup, served with sweet potato nachos with vegan queso if you need more.

Tuesday: shrimp and mixed veggies with coconut-basil sauce, brown rice (I might use cauliflower, shiitakes, bok choy and carrots — you can also make this without shrimp and just add some seared, cubed tofu instead.)

Wednesday: Bell pepper and beef taco skillet from Feed me Phoebe (thinly slice your bell peppers if you don’t have a spiralizer) black beans and cauli-rice

Thursday: Grilled lemon-herb chicken with mint drizzle, carrot salad with avocado

Friday: Sheet pan citrus-chili cod with fennel p. 248 from QTQ, add some roasted potatoes if you need more

Saturday brunch: zucchini bread pancakes

Sunday: Mediterranean quinoa salad served with grilled vegetables with lemon-basil dressing

 

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

Sunday:

Make stock

Make vegan queso

Make brown rice

Wash and cut vegetables for shrimp

Make chipotle cashew cream if using for the taco skillet. Or use leftover vegan queso

Make carrot salad dressing

Wednesday:

Make grilled chicken marinade and mint drizzle

Friday:

Make pancake mix
