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. 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? Alas, what it really means is that I needed the summer to have a little down time. I do have a round of edits coming up for my next book and I will continue filming cooking classes for my online platform. If you normally take my classes in person, I doubt I will teach any this summer, so check out the online versions. 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. 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 served with grilled chicken
Wednesday: California Greek Salad using leftover grilled chicken or chickpeas
Thursday: Eggplant meatballs from my cookbook, pasta or spaghetti squash, green salad with your favorite vinaigrette
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 slaw (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.
