Vegetarian Pad Thai
"This is a simple pad Thai loaded with crisp vegetables and zesty flavor. It’s quick, simple, and fresh-tasting."
Tuesday: Easy One Pot Skillet Taco
This Skillet Taco is the easiest, most delicious way to serve tacos, especially for weeknights. I'm making with ground turkey and plenty of veggies as condiments.
Wednesday: Greek Chicken and Orzo Skillet
Greek Chicken and Orzo Skillet is an incredibly delicious one-pot dinner with Greek-inspired Mediterranean chicken cooked with bell peppers and orzo pasta. It's healthy, perfect for summer with fresh tomatoes, herbs, olives, feta cheese, and a creamy Greek tzatziki-inspired sauce.
Thursday: Skillet Cajun Spiced Flounder with Tomatoes
"Cajun spices, tomatoes, onions and peppers give any white fish extra pizazz and a little kick. Super easy and quick!"
Friday: Ground Beef and Potatoes Skillet
In this healthy ground beef and potatoes recipe, ground beef and potatoes are paired with colorful veggies, including kale, tomato and peppers. Everything is cooked in one skillet, which allows for layers of flavor to build quickly while also cutting back on the number of dishes.
Treat: Easy Skillet Peach Crisp
This oh-so-simple Skillet Peach Crisp is an easy summer dessert that's delightfully sweet with fresh peaches and a crumbly oat topping with brown sugar, oats, pecans, and warm spices. A decidedly delicious way to celebrate summer.
