We’re bringing summer vibes into this week’s game plan with veggie- packed summer rolls, easy chicken on the grill, and one of my favorite EVER ways to do tacos. Enjoy!
SUMMER ROLLS WITH PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
This is a fresh, bright answer to supper when the weather warms up. I like to set it up as a DIY summer roll bar, and let everyone make their own. Minimize your hands-on time at dinner time by prepping your peanut sauce and veggies ahead of time.
CRISPY AVOCADO TACOS
One of the quickest recipes on the site! Serve with a side of beans along with cut up cucumber, jicama, and other raw vegetables doused with lime and chili. Alternatively, this Mexican Slaw is delicious with tacos. Got avocado-shy kids? Just make the kid’s tacos with tortillas and cheese and serve the avocado on the side. Who knows….they may just try it one of these days.
CILANTRO LIME YOGURT-MARINATED GRILLED CHICKEN
This is a recipe from my friend Cheryl Sternman Rule’s Yogurt Culture cookbook and it’s such a keeper. Be sure to get the chicken marinating early in the day to get the most flavor out of this dish. Throw any vegetables you like on the grill or check out this Warm Potato Salad to serve on the side.
LIGHTER GREEN GODDESS DRESSING
Make a batch of this dressing to add a splash of brightness to salads or drizzled over grilled vegetables. ALSO, if you want to see a spin on the original recipe that’s in my new cookbook PREP, check out my Facebook Live with Ellie Krieger.
PERFECT SOFT-COOKED EGGS WITH BUTTERED TOAST “SOLDIERS”
This simple egg dish remains a foolproof favorite in our house. Pull out those egg cups and make a pile of whole grain toast strips for dunking into that oozy yolk.
