This Week for Dinner: August 14-20

As summer winds down, the garden is coming to life.


I’ve planned this week’s menu knowing that there is a ton of work to do in the evenings-namely processing tomatoes and peppers and making salsa.


So here’s the plan for this week:


Sunday-Shredded Chicken Sandwiches and Orzo with Corn off the Cob

I just made this recipe for the first time, and will definitely make it again! I took it to a BBQ this afternoon and found it to be the perfect summer pasta salad-light, tangy, and delicious. It’s also to be served at room temperature…so no worries about refrigeration at a picnic or BBQ!


Monday-Chicken Lettuce Wraps


Â


One of our family favorites-this recipe is spot on. I usually make a triple batch, and we eat it throughout the week…thus the Monday slot.

Tuesday-Grilled Chicken Satay Skewers and Veggies

Chicken satay is one of my favorite dishes-and super simple to prepare. I could probably eat just the peanut sauce with a spoon.


Wednesday-Mini Meatball Sliders

She claims this recipe can be made in sixteen minutes-that sounds like a great mid-week meal to me!


Thursday-Roasted Red Pepper Ravioli with leftover meatballs


We didn’t get to the Whole Foods Ravioli last week-so it’s reappearing on this week’s menu on the night of my final photography class.


Friday-Leftover Lettuce Wraps or Brown Sugar Glazed Salmon

My husband’s favorite new salmon recipe on the grill for a relaxing night in (most likely spent processing tomatoes!)


Saturday-OUT


Stay tuned for a recap of this week’s adventures, as well as new recipes and garden news later this week!
