Even though the weather is predicted to change tomorrow (no!), my menu still reflects a quick-and-easy approach with fast recipes packed with flavor and bolstered with store-bought sides.
Monday: Sesame Noodles from Sweet Amandine
Sesame noodles are so versatile--serve them hot, serve them cold. Add chicken. Add veggies. Add tofu. Add whatever you like. I'll serve these with a side of potstickers from the freezer section.
Tuesday: Chicken Salad Sandwiches from Two Red Bowls
Chicken salad is such comfort food. I love that this one trades in some of the mayo for Greek yogurt and adds plenty of dill. And nothing goes better with a sandwich than really good potato chips. Easy!
Wednesday: Baked Frittata from Cookie + Kate
My love of eggs knows no end. Frittatas are my weeknight favorite because they're so unfussy--no flipping, stirring, or worrying. This recipe teaches you how to make a frittata with whatever you have in your fridge. A very simple salad of arugula, lemon juice, olive oil, and shaved parmesan is the perfect side.
Thursday: Grilled Bread with Avocado
We're bringing out the grill for one of my favorites. I'll serve this with a couple prepared salads from the deli (such a weeknight lifesaver sometimes).
Friday: Ricotta with Figs, Pine Nuts, and Honey from Bon Appetit
Cheese for dinner? Yep, sounds perfect for a grown-up Friday night. I'm going to pick up a couple additional cheeses, some olives, and maybe some fruit, along with a baguette and crackers. A dinner like this saves plenty of room for dessert...
...which will be balsamic strawberries with vanilla ice cream.
