Most of this week is about tapping into the freshest possibilities for summer to stay cool inside and out.
However, there is one slowly roasted dish that can be multiplied to serve you well throughout the week. The classic Ratatouille and a big bowl of comforting French Lentils can be made on a cool evening and then served for more than one meal throughout the week. Julia Child’s birthday on the 18th and this French inspired dish is the perfect way to celebrate.
Keep life cool, by tossing together cold veggies such as the Summer Black Bean Salad and the Fire + Ice Tomatoes. Each salad can be multiplied for additional meals. To get these salads rolling, grill up way too much corn on the cob and a Grilled Caesar Salad to serve with the Fire + Ice Tomatoes. Then cut off the extra corn for the Summer Black Bean Salad to serve with the Spicy Cucumber Soup.
Feel inspired by the essence of Thailand. Start by blending up a pair of soups: the Ginger-Basil Cantaloupe Soup and the Spicy Cucumber Soup. Both of these soups served alongside each other are perfect to pair with the Thai Fish Cakes. Meanwhile the Ginger-Basil Cantaloupe Soup becomes another day’s meal with grilled Sweet Lemon-Ginger Chicken and a Thai Almond Broccoli. Mix and match any leftovers for lunch the next day, although we recommend the Cantaloupe Soup and Thai Almond Broccoli.
As back-to-school slowly starts happening, try a quick Tomato Omelette by whisking, pouring, searing and filling eggs for a simple breakfast. Summer fruit is also great when topping easy French Toast, which could be made ahead on the weekend and even frozen and warmed up on quick mornings.
Cook seasonally. Eat consciously. Live well,
