What To Eat This Week

Start the week with chimichurri grilled chicken served with fluffy couscous—it’s one of my go-to meals and always a crowd-pleaser.

Next up, try a grilled garlic-and-herb pizza topped with ripe heirloom tomatoes, a perfect pick for summer produce.

Midweek, grill a steak and toss it into a salad with a tangy blue cheese vinaigrette for a satisfying, flavor-packed meal.

For a lighter option, make summer shrimp zoodle bowls—customizable, fresh, and quick to prepare.

On the weekend, black bean and corn burgers are a terrific choice. They’re hearty on their own or delicious served over a salad.

Wrap up the week with easy Baja-style grain bowls—simple to assemble and loaded with bright flavors.

For lunches this week, smoky chicken salad stuffed avocados are an excellent, protein-packed option. For breakfasts, overnight peanut butter oats are my reliable favorite—fast, filling, and great for busy mornings.
