A Week At A Time – Meal Ideas

A Week at a Time Meal Ideas are for busy people with simple, delicious recipes that save time and keep everyone happy at the table.

We start off the week on Monday with Shaved Fennel and Citrus Salad with Buttermilk Dressing – light refreshing and you can always add some cooked shrimp or chicken for added protein. Chicken Enchiladas Verdes are on the menu for Tuesday and you can cut down on time by using a few store-bought ingredients like green or tomatillo salsa from a jar.

On Wednesday, it’s time to warm up that grill outdoors and create Grilled Harissa Chicken. I used a whole bird and spatchcocked or butterflied it by removing it’s backbone to flatten, but you can always grill-up individual pieces, if you prefer. Lemony Bow-Tie Pasta is a fan favorite and couldn’t be any easier. The flavors are classic and the delicate citrus taste heightens this dish beautifully.

After a really busy week a Blackberry Basil Mojito sounds so good. It’s refreshingly delicious and the muddled berries and herbaceous basil create quite a drink. Saturday’s are usually for baking, but I thought it would be fun to create a No-Yeast Flatbread and top it with your favorite ingredients. You can grill the flatbread or bake it in the oven on a sheet pan or pizza stone — it’s super versatile and can be a canvas for a most delightful meal. Have a delicious week.
