Summer produce is plentiful at roadside stands around the countryside and tomatoes are going riotously in our garden. I think there is nothing quite as good as a garden-grown tomato with a little salt! So, you will see them on every menu this week!
So here’s what’s ON THE MENU this week…
MONDAY
I try to have staples in my kitchen cupboard, refrigerator and freezer to make what I call “pantry dinners”. I know for sure I have a few delicious dinners at hand!
This chicken dish is a pantry dish for sure and sounds so delicious! Thanks, Nancy at Skinny Kitchen!
- OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE ALICE SPRING CHICKEN MADE EASY
- NANI’S SAUTEED RICE
- SLICED TOMATOES
TUESDAY- SOUP DAY
This soup is delicious and satisfying! I’m making two versions. One with chicken that is zero points and one with ground beef. One of my go-to recipes from The Slender Kitchen.
Soups and stews make the best leftovers for lunches!
- ZERO POINT TACO SOUP
- SOUTHWEST CORN SALAD
- GARDEN TOMATOES
WEDNESDAY
I’ve made this week’s amazingly scrumptious salmon several times and it is so easy! This beautiful salmon recipe is from Amy at House Of Nash. Thanks so much!
My homemade coleslaw is also on tonight’s menu. The leftover coleslaw is fabulous in a sandwich! So yummy!
- GRILLED SOY BROWN SUGAR SALMON
- BAKED GARLIC PARMESAN POTATOE WEDGES
- HOMEMADE COLESLAW
- SLICED GARDEN TOMATOES
THURSDAY
Bobby is a steak-and-potato guy! So once in a while, I treat him to a really good steak dinner! And for me, it’s all about a great cut of steak and a super delicious pan sauce to build layers of flavor.
Thanks, Nagi at Recipe Tin Eats.
- STEAK WITH CREAMY PEPPERCORN SAUCE
- MASHED POTATOES
- BROCCOLI WITH SAUTEED GARLIC AND RED PEPPER (make extra for Saturday night’s dinner)
FRIDAY
What a gorgeous meal! I love shrimp and a one-pan dinner! I’ll use just a little bit of the sauce (oh, self-control don’t fail me) to bring down the WW point count. Thanks, Natasha at Salt and Lavander!
Bobby will eat this with fresh linguini but no linguini for me, thanks!
- CREAMY GARLIC SHRIMP WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL
- LINGUINI
- CAESAR SALAD WITH ANCHOVIES
- SLICED GARDEN TOMATOES
SATURDAY- FAMILY DINNER
I really love stuffed chicken. Especially if I can get a little extra veggie along with amazing taste! This chicken recipe is perfect for a family dinner!
Beautiful recipe, Shawn from I Wash You Dry! Thank you! YUM!
- BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
- CREAMY CHEESY POLENTA
- SLICED GARDEN TOMATOES
SUNDAY
Once in a while, we have a very laid back Sunday without family or friends filling StoneGable. So tonight we are making an easy pizza using puff pastry as pizza dough! And of course, diced tomatoes!
Easy and so good for a lazy Sunday evening! Also a great appetizer!
- EASY PUFF PASTRY PIZZA
- GARDEN SALAD
- SLICED GARDEN TOMATOES
SWEET TREAT OF THE WEEK
My dear friend Ann from On Sutton Place has the prettiest blog with the most wonderful recipes! This week’s sweet treat is her amazing Peach Shortbreads!
Peaches are in season and shortbread is one of my favorites! Of all the new things I am making this week I’m over-the-moon for these shortbreads!
Have a scrumptious week! xo Yvonne
I just have to comment how much I love and enjoy your website. Your photography is amazing, ideas are inspiring, tone is so positive and I look forward to reading your newsletter each day. Thanks for all you do!
Bless your darling heart Laurel! I’m so encouraged by you! Thanks!
I’m trying the Outback Chicken tonight. With the cut calories, it fits within my diet. I have found so many good recipes from On The Menu.
This menu is awesome. What kind of tomato is that on the vine? This year I don’t know what I grabbed but the tomatoes are really small. Bigger than a cherry or grape but not “normal” size. Thanks for all the great recipes.
Not sure what you grabbed. Our big producers right now are Early Girl, Better Boy and Jet Star. As long as they are sweet that’s all we care about!
Hi Yvonne,
Thanks so much for sharing my copy-cat recipe, OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE ALICE SPRING CHICKEN MADE EASY. So sweet of you.
I hope everyone enjoys this super yummy recipe!
With my very best wishes,
Nancy
Nancy, we are having it here at StoneGable tonight! YUM! Thanks!
These all look delish! I tempted to attempt them all. Thank you!
