Monday: Eggplant Pizzas with Roasted Bell Pepper Spread

Wednesday: Pork Chops with White Barbecue Sauce

Pork is always a great choice for dinner. Delicious, affordable and easy to make, these grilled chops taste just like how summer feels. Paired with a salad and topped with an Alabama-inspired white barbecue sauce, this recipe will be your new go-to weeknight meal this season.

Thursday: Lemon and Nordic Shrimp Pappardelle

During the warm days of summer, there’s no way you’re serving pasta with a heavy meat sauce! Opt for something fresh and light, like this creamy and lemony dish. It boasts a generous helping of Nordic shrimp, served tempered to preserve their delightful texture. Top with a sprinkling of chopped fresh dill and you’ve got a dish that evokes a vacation by the sea.

Friday: Steaks with Grilled Corn and Cilantro

If you’re looking for a tasty dinner idea, this recipe sets the bar when it comes to simple and delicious warm weather dishes. Perfectly cooked steak along with a bright corn and cilantro topping? It’s a Friday night meal that you (and everyone else) won’t be able to resist!
