jtrent238 test blog: My favorite dinners right now

By Victoria Seaver, M.S., R.D.

When it comes to dinner, I'm all about ease. While I do love trying new recipes, that may happen once a week, and then the rest of the week's dinners are tried and true recipes I know by heart and always love. This week's dinners are the ones that I'm currently loving and cooking on the regular. They're easy, delicious and oh-so satisfying!

Your Meal Plan

Some form of the Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas & Spinach and the Superfood Chopped Salad with Salmon & Creamy Garlic Dressing are on my dinner table at least a couple of times a month. They're yummy recipes that can also be adapted based on what you're craving or what's on hand. Sometimes I'll change up the herbs and spices or veggies in the egg skillet or the protein or dressing in the salad. I also love having nights when we do "take-out at home" and make things like tacos and pizza, both of which you'll see on the menu. And let me tell you about my love of hot dogs this summer! I just can't get enough 😊 I hope you enjoy this week of dinners just as much as I will! Did I mention that all but one of them takes 30 minutes or less to make?

Sunday: Superfood Chopped Salad with Salmon & Creamy Garlic Dressing
Monday: Eggs in Tomato Sauce with Chickpeas & Spinach
Tuesday: Shrimp Tacos with Avocado Crema (That gorgeous image above!)
Wednesday: Creamy Bruschetta Pasta with a simple side salad topped with Basil Vinaigrette
Thursday: Banh Mi Hot Dog
Friday: Prosciutto Pizza with Corn & Arugula

Meal-Prep Snacks

I went on a camping trip last weekend and was reminded how much I LOVE s'mores. They're just the perfect treat. To get my fix, without the need for a campfire, I'll be making these two-bite, protein-packed S'mores Energy Balls instead. They have all the flavors of a classic s'more rolled right in. Even better, they're no-bake and you can make a big batch in about 30 minutes.

Treat Yourself

This bright and bubbly sipper combines berries with vodka and seltzer to make a colorful 3-ingredient cocktail you can whip up in mere minutes. Perfect for summer, this refreshing cocktail can be amped up even more by using a flavored seltzer rather than plain!
