This is a gorgeously low effort summer meal plan: light, fresh and delicious, with recipes that are simple enough for a weeknight but special enough to look forward to. I love putting these together and really hope they help make the weeks a little easier with one less thing to think about.
And if you’d like to create your own meal plans, you can now do that on the new Dinner Tonight site. I know I keep saying it but really it’s so great over there. I’m so thrilled with all the feedback on it. Dinner Tonight is all about making your life easier and now I feel like it has a proper home that really does exactly that. Everything is easy to find and you can adjust portion sizes, toggle between measurements. Really it’s so great! And for the meal plan’s - you just choose your recipes and then some sort of magic happens and Dinner Tonight will automatically create a shopping list with everything you need.
No meal-planning spreadsheet. No trawling through recipes. No writing a shopping list. Just choose, shop and cook.
1. Summer Garden Pasta
This is a gorgeous no-cook pasta recipe. My Mum used to make a similar version when I was younger so it really takes me back. Prep time is only 10 minutes but you need to plan ahead a little and let the tomatoes sit for a few hours for best results.
2. Easy Salmon Traybake With Golden Potatoes, Asparagus And Pesto
This is so easy and so good! Nothing complicated, just a few ingredients but completely delicious. A family favourite.
3. Hot Honey Halloumi Grain Bowl
Golden hot honey halloumi served over herby giant couscous with crunchy cucumber, quick pink pickled onions and lemony yoghurt. Plus, my simple halloumi hack for perfectly golden, crispy halloumi every time
4. Sticky Honey Paprika Chicken with Creamy Corn Salad
This really couldn’t be simpler. The oven does the heavy lifting while you whip up the corn salad. Full of flavour and perfectly balanced between sweet and sticky, with a little smokiness and gentle heat.
5. Steak and Green Bean Salad with Yogurt Caesar Dressing
I like a hearty salad if I’m going to have a salad. A few limp lettuce leaves isn’t going to work for me. I sometimes make this even heartier with added grains too.
You’ll find all these recipes, along with lots of notes, ideas for substitutions and tips and tricks over on the brand new home for Dinner Tonight. If you want one less thing to think about each day, sign up for Dinner Tonight and let me help!
