How is August almost over!?
We’re wrapping up the month with a seasonal, garden-forward menu for the week—bright produce and simple preparations that let summer flavors shine.
What To Eat This Week
Kick off the week with a one-pot peach basil chicken: juicy peaches and fragrant basil pair beautifully with tender chicken. Serve alongside grilled chopped vegetables for a smoky, colorful plate.
Midweek, use up garden zucchini with a zucchini lasagna bolognese—layers of thin zucchini, rich meat sauce, and cheese make a lighter take on a classic lasagna.
For a special midweek dinner, try white clam sauce pizza finished with a drizzle of chili oil. The balance of briny clams, creamy sauce, and spicy oil makes for a memorable summer meal.
Keep things easy with a weeknight pasta tossed in a silky artichoke sauce—simple to prepare and full of bright, savory flavor.
Another summer favorite is chipotle beer BBQ chicken paired with creamed grilled corn. The smoky, tangy chicken and sweet charred corn are a perfect match for warm evenings.
Plan a relaxed weekend meal by slow-cooking sweet and spicy pulled pork until it’s fall-apart tender. Serve it with a corn, peach, and tomato salad to keep the menu fresh and seasonal.
For lunches this week, try a strawberry crunch salad for a sweet-and-savory option, or make tomato picnic toast when tomatoes are at their peak. For breakfasts, lemon curd chia pudding is bright, satisfying, and easy to prep ahead.
