A Week of Easy Dinner Ideas ๐๐ฝ๐
|
Hey, friend! Good morning, and happy Sunday! This week included a heat wave, the County Fair, and a lacrosse tournament. You can find all of the highlights from the past few days, along with each of our dinners, in todayโs roundup of Our Week in Meals. Stuck in a rut with your own dinners? Here are some fresh ideas from the blog:โโ โGrilled PeachesโThere is no easier way to celebrate summer peaches than tossing them on the grill! A few minutes over the heat turns them soft and jammy, with caramelized edges and a buttery brown sugar glaze that tastes like dessert. Serve them warm over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or set them alongside grilled pork chops as a sweet-savory side. Either way, they are done in minutes!
โSautรฉed ZucchiniโWith garlic, butter, fresh herbs, lemon, and Parmesan cheese, this quick and easy side dish comes together in about 15 minutes and pairs with almost anything on the dinner table.
โGrilled BBQ Pork ChopsโJuicy, tender, and packed with flavor from a simple BBQ rub and a sweet, smoky barbecue sauce! Best of all, they're ready in less than 20 minutes.
โCorn SaladโThis fresh salad is packed with sweet corn, crisp summer vegetables, and a simple honey vinaigrette dressing.
โSouthern Tomato SandwichโOne of summer's greatest pleasures! With ripe tomatoes, creamy Duke's mayo, fresh basil, and soft white bread, this sandwich is an easy 5-minute meal that lets peak-season tomatoes shine.
โSummer Peach SaladโOur family's go-to summer side dish and the one everyone always raves about (even my boys)! Sweet peaches, crisp greens, creamy cheese, crunchy toasted nuts, and a simple homemade vinaigrette come together in about 15 minutes, creating the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
โFried OkraโThere's nothing quite like a basket of crispy fried okra fresh from the skillet! Coated in seasoned cornmeal and fried until golden brown, this easy recipe is a staple on Southern tables for good reason.
โFresh Peach DessertsโThis collection pulls together my favorite peach desserts for the season, from the easiest dump cake to a galette worth serving guests.
And since it's Sunday, it's time for Our Week in Meals! You can check out all of the highlights from our week and hopefully find some new dinner inspiration for your own meal plan. The full details are on the blog today:โโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
