Happy Summer, officially! Today is the day I make lots of lists of things I want to accomplish over the next two months since my cooking class schedule is super light. ย Two months from now, I will look back on said list and wonder where the time went and how is it possible that I got none of it done LOL? ย Alas, what it really means is that I needed the summer to have a little down time. ย I do have a round of edits coming up for my next book and I will continue filming cooking classes for my online platform. ย If you normally take my classes in person, I doubt I will teach any this summer, so check out the online versions. ย It’s the same class, same nutrition information, same tips and tricks, recipes, etc.

If you missed my segment on Home & Family this week, you can watch it here. ย And if you don’t live in LA and couldn’t catch my segment on food waste with KABC’s Lori Corbin, here it is:

Here are some great ideas for dinners this week, but I’m not opposed to a few olives, tomatoes and hummus every now and again when I need a night off!

Meatless Monday: Kale Falafel Hummus Wraps from The Minimalist Baker

Tuesday: Rainbow Carrot Salad with Millet and Yogurt Dressing ย served with grilled chickenย 

Wednesday: California Greek Salad using leftover grilled chicken or chickpeas

Thursday:ย ย Eggplant meatballs from my cookbook, pasta or spaghetti squash, green salad with your favorite vinaigretteย 

Friday: Grilled Apricot and Corn Harissa Couscous from the Last Ingredient, Lime-Soy Grilled Salmon

Saturday Brunch: Crostini with Burrata and Blackberry Thyme Chia Jam

Sunday: Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken on rolls or in a bowl with pinto beans and cauliflower rice, cole slawย (the one shown here is a jicama slaw for a change of pace)

 

Here’s what you can do ahead of time:

Sunday:

Make all dressings, sauces, marinades

Wednesday:

Make Eggplant Meatballs

Cook grains

Friday

Prep veggies for slaw

Here’s a link to my previous dinner planners.
