I hope your summer is off to a great start!  For anyone who subscribes to my monthly online cooking class, I am hosting live “office hours” this Wednesday at 12:00 pm PST if you want to join us, hang out, ask me anything, etc.  It is always a lively discussion.  Check your email for the zoom link. Here’s your dinner planner for the week: 

 

Meatless Monday: Green Gazpacho, depending on how hungry we are, I’ll serve a very hearty mixed green salad with chickpeas or another protein and/or a caprese salad with or without bread.

Tuesday: barley and corn tabbouleh, spiced halibut and lime skewers (I’ll add some zucchini to the skewers to get in my veggies)

Wednesday:  ground turkey and green bean stir-fry(I haven’t made this but it looks good. Sub crumbled tofu for the ground turkey.). I might serve with cauliflower rice.

Thursday: Roasted salmon with pineapple salsa, steamed rice, grilled or roasted asparagus

Friday: Grilled summer salad with chicken and spicy cashew dressing (I’ve made this without the chicken many times.  Swap in crispy tofu, cooked white beans or frozen/defrosted peas.)

Saturday brunch: easy tuna dip spread on freshly toasted whole grain or gluten-free bread (more delicious than it looks, I swear! My son is now making this on his own, he likes it so much and it’s THAT easy.)

Sunday: slow cooker barbacoa tacos, Mexican black beans, DIY salad bar for taco bowls
