Let’s get into meal planning this week!

SUNDAY – Asian Salmon Salad

This asian salmon salad isn’t as traditional as its name may suggest. I had the pleasure of dining at Good Good Culture Club last week and was so inspired by the South East Asian flavors in their salads. I loved their crying tiger shrimp salad with coconut cream – the main inspiration for this dressing. Paired with aromatic flavors from my kitchen hack of curry paste, this salad is clean yet flavor packed and delicious.

Monday – Buffalo CHicken Salad

I started making this Buffalo Chicken Salad when I was private cheffing, and it was always such a favorite, I would put it on salads, quesadillas, rice bowls, you name it. This recipe is foolproof and is a great meal prep idea for the week.

Tuesday – Cast Iron Pork Tenderloin with Charred Corn Orzo

I’m taking advantage of all the summer corn and adding this cast iron pork tenderloin with charred corn orzo into my rotation! Pork tenderloin is also such an underrated protein – it’s a great option to switch it up from chicken, it’s lean, and incredibly tender when cooked correctly!

Wednesday – Charred Corn and Turkey Sesame Noodles

Another easy and delicious recipe that features summer corn – these dan dan noodles are my favorite and this is my summery take.

Thursday – Leftovers!

Clean up the fridge and enjoy the night off from cooking 🙂

Friday – Leek and Chard Mac and Cheese

My new favorite recipe and this is another dish that was inspired by a recent dining experience at Shuggie’s Trash Pie. This is truly the best Mac and cheese I’ve ever made and it’s such a great treat to bring to a potluck!
