Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (August 22 – 28)

Say it ain’t so: Summer 2022 is almost a wrap. Let’s send the season off right, shall we? This week, we’re cooking seven timely meals starring your favorite summer produce. Think zucchini, corn, tomatoes, peaches and more. (That’s your cue to head to the nearest farmers market with the biggest tote bag you can find.)

Tomato, mozz and basil—it’s a flawless combination that never gets old. Even better, this picnic-ready side calls on Dijon mustard, honey and balsamic vinegar instead of gloppy mayo.

Bring on the plant-based protein (17 grams per serving to be exact). You’d be surprised how well the nutty tahini and briny kalamata olives complement sweet peaches and tender eggplant.

Cheese and pie crust for dinner? Don’t mind if we do. The galette is decidedly non-fussy since you won’t have to crimp the sides. Serve it with a green salad or gazpacho.

All this cheesy, comforting dish requires of you is 35 minutes and your trustiest skillet. And once you try it, you just might prefer your lasagna deconstructed forever. (Chalk it up to the blistered tomatoes and charred corn).

Any salad with bacon in it—let alone juicy strawberries, crunchy pecans and buttery avocado—is one after our own heart. Prepare the hard-boiled eggs in advance to save time.

Brace yourself for a chorus of oohs and ahhs when this skillet masterpiece hits the table. Don’t skip the fresh basil and tarragon on top: They lend the summer stunner a certain je ne sais quoi.
