I am so excited for this week of meals! Get ready for tried-and-true classics that have earned a special place at our family’s table. We’ve got a variety of proteins on the menu each day to ensure nobody leaves dinner hungry, and these meals are honestly so delicious and fun to make.

Cheesy Monday: Lobster Mac and Cheese

Did you know our country dedicates an entire day to macaroni & cheese? Since it just so happens that today is that day, I present to you: ultra-creamy and indugent lobster mac ‘n cheese.

Takeout Tuesday: PF Chang’s Chicken Lettuce Wraps

You guys know that Asian food is an obsession of mine, and these chicken lettuce wraps are one of my favorite copycat recipes. Stuff crisp lettuce leaves with a flavorful ground chicken mixture, and you’ve got a light meal in under 30-minutes!

Hot tips

  • Use ground beef, pork, or turkey instead of the chicken.
  • Double up on the protein! It reheats so well, and it makes a great lunch for the next day. These containers are my favorite for storing leftovers.
  • If you’re not on the low-carb train, add a side of rice or veggie lo mein.

“Soup”er Wednesday: Creamy Spinach Tortellini Soup

This soup is like a spin-off of the famous Zuppa Toscana — featuring Italian sausage, cheese tortellini, and fresh spinach. All my fellow moms will love how easy it is to make and how comforting it tastes!

Hot tips

  • You know the drill — no soup is complete without breadsticks!
  • This soup tastes even better as it sits, so dish it up for lunch in the days to come.

Elegant Thursday: Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken Thighs

If you’re craving that five-star restaurant experience, you’re in luck tonight. These pesto-stuffed chicken thighs are wrapped in prosciutto and baked in a mushroom rice pilaf for a stunning centerpiece dinner.

Sheet Pan Friday: Shrimp Boil

It’s peak season for corn right now, so grab yourself a few cobs and throw them into this finger-lickin’ good boil. I could eat the juicy shrimp, sausage, and veggies any day!

Hot tips

  • Add any other veggies you have on hand to diversify the colors and nutrients.
  • Get messy! The best (and most traditional) way to enjoy a shrimp boil is with your hands.
  • Serve up a creamy cucumber radish salad on the side to cool your palette down.

Snack of the Week: Yogurt Parfaits

There’s nothing like creamy yogurt and fresh berries to cool you down. Grab your favorite granola (or make it yourself), and get a taste of summer in every layer.

Dessert of the Week: Cherry Vareniki

National Cherry Day on Wednesday means that we have an excuse to make these soft and tender dumplings stuffed with fresh cherries. Invest in a cherry pitter to save yourself time!
