This Week’s Menu

Here’s a quick look at the dinners for the week:

Tips for this week’s Plan

Don’t worry about following the plan exactly. Swap proteins, change the order of meals, or use vegetables you already have on hand.

Check your pantry before shopping. This week’s dinners rely on ingredients like soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger. You may already have several of them on hand.

Peel the garlic and grate the ginger before the week starts. Those small tasks don’t take long, but having them ready can make weeknight cooking feel much faster.

Cook extra rice on Monday when you make the Hot Honey Salmon. Chilled rice works best for fried rice, and Wednesday’s dinner comes together much faster when the rice is already waiting in the refrigerator.

Use the softer vegetables earlier in the week and save sturdier vegetables for later dinners. This helps keep produce fresh and reduces waste.

Prep Sauces: If your schedule looks busy this week, prepare the Hot Honey sauce or Ginger Miso sauce in advance. Having the sauces ready can take some of the pressure off a busy evening.
