Weekly Dinner Meal Plan: July 16 – 20
A 5 night, Weekly Dinner Meal Plan that’s easy, seasonal, and healthy. Plus, a weekly treat you won’t want to miss.
Summer garden veggies are beginning to flourish. In fact, I pulled my first zucchini out of the garden this week. It was an exciting moment! Zucchini will be making an appearance it lots of dinners, sides, and even desserts in the coming weeks.
When the zucchini ripens, it seems like the halfway point of summer. I refuse to think about that!
This week I’m planning meals that are both easy yet delicious. And healthy — filled with the seasons freshest ingredients.
Plus, on Thursday, it’s a pantry special that we love, and is so easy to bring to the table. With a sauce that almost instantly makes itself.
The treat? You know there’s always a treat. This one reminds me of summer, and Grandmother’s house, and that those warm summer evenings on the porch, watching the stars.
Have a great summer week!

Filled with simple summer veggies and healthy whole wheat pasta, it’s a summertime dinner meal to make often!

If you ask me what’s for dinner from now until September, it’s probably this.”

Tuesday: One Pan Lemon Roast Chicken and Asparagus
“This one-pan lemon roast chicken and asparagus (with potatoes!) is the ultimate sheet pan dinner. It’s lemony, it’s garlic-y, it’s healthy and a breeze to make. Perfectly quick for weeknights and delicious enough for weekend entertaining. Everything in a pan and the oven takes care of the rest!”

Weekly Treat: No-Cook, No-Churn Strawberry Ice Cream
We’ve been grilling and cooking all week long. It’s time for a summer treat that’s neither. Hot summer days and ice cream are perfect companions. And this ice cream pie… like grandma used to make… is incredibly satisfying, and summery… and fun!
