Day 1: Baked lemon and garlic butter cod, Balsamic roasted broccoli
Day 2: Spanakopita, Creamy cucumber dill salad
Day 3: Homemade pizza, Tossed salad
Day 4: Grilled adobo pork chops, Summer salad
Day 5: Quiche, Watermelon slices
Day 6: Hot dogs with sauerkraut (hold the bun), Celery sticks and hummus
Day 7: Zucchini and eggplant bruchetta, Fruit salad
Notes: Beware the spanakopita can take a while to make, but it is worth it! The rest of the meals come together pretty quickly, especially if you do a lot of the veggie prep ahead of time.
GLP tip of the week: It is officially the end of #PlasticFreeJuly. Did you make any switches this month? I’ve given you examples of ways to reduce plastic at the grocery store, in your kitchen, and in the bathroom. Plastic is everywhere and once you realize that, you can easily get overwhelmed at the sheer amount and feel like you can’t make a difference. Slow and steady is how I do it. They say it takes about a month for a new habit to stick. So my tip this week is to keep finding new things every month that you can replace. Before you know it you will be a (mostly) plastic free rock star and wonder how you ever lived any other way.
CSA notes: Here’s how I am using my produce this week. The quiche isn’t listed below. You can use any vegetables you have left with it.
