It was Father's day today and we spoiled my husband as much as we could because he deserves it ... We are moving this week so it will be hectic. I still make the weekly plan and stick to it if I can and if not, it's fine.... It might be a lot of take out food this week but we'll see. For those wanting som easy and yummy recipes, here you go!
Monday: Gazpacho. I love soups for dinner. The weather is getting warmer over here so it is the perfect time for a nice summer gazpacho. I can always serve it with some melon and prosciutto, or goat cheese crostini for those who need a little something more consistent! I have also added lobster or crab meat in the past to gazpacho and it was delicious... Another thing you can do is add small cubes of the fruit and/or veggies you using in the gazpacho as a reminder and also as a nice little crunch.
Tuesday: Chicken Tacos Tuesday. I will simply make a rub for the chicken breasts with paprika, cumin, salt and pepper and grill it outside for 10-15 minutes. Guacamole, slaw, chips, grilled corn on the cob and a Mexican salad and done! I found jicama tortillas at Trader's Joe the other day, which will be perfect to keep low carb and veggie loaded for me :)
Wednesday: Spaghetti with shrimps and beans. I made this dish for a live cooking class a while ago and everyone loved it so much! Shrimps cook in like 3-5 minutes and with tomatoes being in season right now, this makes for a bursting flavor and super fast meal!
Thursday: Chicken souvlaki with greek salad. Last year we went to Greece and when we came back I tried to recreate a lot of the food that we had including this amazing chicken recipe!!! Like I have said before, since we cannot travel this year, I will do my best to take us on work journeys through food!
Friday: DIY Veggie burger bar. This is easy enough for a Friday night and my kids love being hands on. I prepare the beyond burger veggie burgers, slice tomatoes, make some guacamole (which we love on a burger) make a plate with sliced cheese and prepare also a sriracha aioli. Sweet potato fries always add a nice touch here and a crunchy coleslaw will make the perfect side!
Saturday: Miso salmon with coconut rice and wilted garlicky spinach. Everyone loves this preparation here, the sweetness of the miso balances well with salmon. It only takes a little while to marinate and cooks in less then 10 minutes... The coconut rice mixes nicely here and since I need my daily greens, I can simply sauté spinach with olive oil and garlic and it is ready in 2 minutes!
Sunday: Prosciutto and asparagus tartlets. I cannot wait to go to the famers' market in the morning, get all the goodies I need and make a simple and delicious dinner out of it. I always have puff party in the freezer which makes this a 5-10 minutes dinner!
