Time to make August taste delicious!
It’s hard to believe it’s already August — peak season for summer produce. Let’s take advantage of the bounty and enjoy bright, fresh meals all week long.
Monday: Start the week with a Southwest salmon salad. This dish is wonderfully flexible — swap in what you have on hand, leave out what you don’t like, and prep many components in advance to save time on a busy evening.
Tuesday: Keep Taco Tuesday fresh with crunchy street corn and jicama tacos. They’re colorful, textural, and a fun way to showcase sweet summer corn.
Wednesday: Midweek calls for pulled pork with pickled peaches. The tangy peaches brighten the rich pork, and leftovers make easy meals later in the week.
Thursday: Pretzel-crusted chicken fingers are a family favorite. Pair them with a grilled broccoli crunch salad for a meal that’s full of flavor and satisfying textures.
Friday: Use up garden zucchini with Thai drunken zucchini noodles topped with spicy honey chicken. It’s a light, flavorful dinner that still feels indulgent.
Weekend: Enjoy guacamole turkey burgers for an easy, crowd-pleasing weekend meal that’s both fresh and filling.
Breakfast: Try roasted blueberry coconut quinoa parfaits for a fruity, protein-rich start to the day — an old favorite that still delights.
Lunch: With summer tomatoes at their best, tomato toast remains a simple, delicious lunch option. Fresh bread, ripe tomatoes, and a drizzle of good olive oil are all you need.
