M O N D A Y

Vegetarian Hamburger Helper

The pasta cooks in the sauce, and there's almost no meal prep required for this vegetarian version of the hamburger helper so many of us grew up on. This is a perfect week-night meal on busy nights, and if you have kids, they will LOVE it.

T U E S D A Y

Two bowls of roasted eggplant soup pureed with a tomato, along with two spoons.

Roasted Eggplant and Tomato Soup

This roasted eggplant and tomato soup is one of my favorite soup recipes, and I make it often in the late summer and early fall. Even eggplant haters will love this soup, and it you make it ahead, the flavors are even better.

W E D N E S D A Y

A plate of zucchini noodles, corn and tomatoes tossed in pesto. A little cheese is on top.

Zucchini Noodles with Pesto, Corn, and Tomatoes

This low carb zucchini noodles recipe tosses lightly sautéed zucchini noodles with pesto, fresh corn and tomatoes for a keto friendly, gluten-free dinner that can be served as the main course or a side dish.

T H U R S D A Y

A large bowl filled with sliced tomatoes, cucumbers and herbs with a small bowl of pan roasted chickpeas, a jar of dressing, and na'an bread slices.

20-Minute Easy Spiced Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

This vegan Mediterranean Chickpea Salad combines pan-roasted seasoned chickpeas with crisp cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and tangy red onions—all dressed in a bright lemon vinaigrette that ties the flavors together beautifully.

F R I D A Y

A serving bowl of Sicilian pasta dish of fusilli tossed with eggplant, tomatoes and capers.

Sicilian Pasta with Eggplant, Tomatoes, and Capers

This classic Sicilian pasta is one of my favorite vegetarian pasta recipes. It's full of umami! It tosses cooked fusilli noodles with eggplant, tomatoes, fresh herbs and capers. You can use other pasta shapes, but the sauce clings to the shape of the fusilli to maximize the flavor of the dish.

W E E K E N D B A K I N G

Glazed peach scones on a cutting board and a blue napkin.

Homemade Peach Scones with Fresh Peaches and Ginger

These peach scones are made with fresh peaches and laced with crystallized ginger. They are incredibly tender thanks to both sour cream and buttermilk added to the dough and are more moist than a typical dry scone.

D E S S E R T

Blueberry lemon bars with coconut oil and lemon curd.

Blueberry Bars with Peaches, Lemon, and Coconut

Soft bite-sized cake bars topped with a smear of lemon curd, then packed with blueberries and peaches, and finished with a crumb topping.
