I can’t believe it’s already May!
This week is packed with delicious meals and easy-to-make favorites. Below is my plan for the week — simple, flavorful dishes that work for dinners, lunches, and breakfasts.
What’s on your menu this week?
What To Eat This Week
Start the week with black bean and corn cheddar melt burgers — a satisfying, vegetarian-friendly option that’s full of flavor and texture.
Next, try grilled chicken and orzo with avocado. It’s great warm or chilled for leftovers; when packing for lunch, add the avocado right before eating to keep it fresh.
Wednesday is a special dinner night — I’m celebrating the one-year anniversary of Everyday Dinners with a rich, cheesy burrata baked ziti. It’s perfect for feeding a crowd or enjoying as indulgent leftovers.
Another weeknight favorite: sesame beef bowls. They’re quick to make, packed with savory-sweet flavor, and always a hit at our table.
For something light and comforting, make a pot of lemon ginger couscous chicken soup. It’s bright and warming, yet easy enough for warmer days.
Coconut curry pork meatballs are another favorite — fragrant and hearty. They pair perfectly with steamed rice or a simple grain of your choice.
For lunch this week, I’ll make a big batch of Greek orzo chickpea salad. Cook orzo at the start of the week and use it in both this salad and the grilled chicken orzo dish to save time.
And for breakfast, peanut butter overnight oats are my go-to — creamy, filling, and easy to prepare the night before.
Plan your grocery list around versatile ingredients like orzo, chicken, beans, and pantry spices so you can mix and match meals during the week. Enjoy the cooking — and let me know if you want variations for vegetarian, gluten-free, or quicker versions of any of these dishes.
