The Food
It’s my birthday week! If you take a peek at last week, you will know that this is also one of my last new meal plans. It is also so exciting to announce that this service is entirely 100% free to you!
Since this is the last new meal plan I am writing for one of my birthday weeks, I was careful to choose some of my absolute favorite recipes!
While crepes are one of my favorite breakfasts, this savory variety sustains me happily throughout the day. And more importantly, it feels natural on the dinner table, especially when it gets a bit fancy with the Balsamic Strawberry Salad.
Speaking of avocados, they are kind of my obsession (especially since I am not really eating them during our local food year!) Beyond the Avocado, Eggs + Greens Crepes, the Avocado Cream becomes the perfect dip for Grilled Artichokes and the Chopped Vegetables + Lentil Salad is one of those easy dishes to make at the start of the week to be tucked into lunch boxes or snuck into an easy dinner throughout the week.
Avocado pairs beautifully with beets and bacon (or sometimes I skip the meat), the combination is one of my favorite sandwiches (and slight obsession): Beet + Avocado Sandwiches.
Creaminess is just one of my favorite flavors/textures/joys in food! The Goat Cheese + Kale Pasta feels like cheating when I make it as the goat cheese melts into the pasta with very little effort on my part (be sure to pick a soft goat cheese rather than a drier/crumbly version— I mean unless you are less interested in creaminess!) The Goat Cheese Omelettes are the perfect use of any extra cheese, not to mention a fabulous way to start the day!
Next, take my creamy declaration, chop up some herbs + edible blossoms to create the Flower Power Salmon. Keep the rest of the meal simple with Lime Sweet Potatoes and a Lemony Toss of Greens.
In theory, strawberries are still not in season here in Colorado, but I know some organic varieties are slowly appearing in groceries. A lot of them are not going to be candy-sweet, which is why I supplement their goodness with a tart-sweet addition.
The Strawberry Salsa highlights the red fruit’s tartness to become a topping for the Pistachio Crusted Chicken and Asparagus. The Balsamic Strawberry Salad receives a tangy-sweet dressing that serves for dinner or a lunch on the go paired with a pile of simple cooked up French Lentils.
May this week be bright and sparkly for you! Also, spread the word that Lilly’s Table is free + open for all to enjoy!
