As we move into the month of July, the weather is getting hotter and the days are getting longer. The perfect way to beat the heat and eat healthy is by cooking some delicious and flavorful meals. Here are some great meal ideas for the week of July 12th.

Monday:

On Monday, why not start the week off with a classic summer salad? A Caprese salad is a perfect way to incorporate fresh and seasonal ingredients. You can use fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, and freshly picked basil from your garden. Drizzle some olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top to make it extra flavorful.

Tuesday:

Taco Tuesday is a fun and easy way to add some spice to your week. This week, try making some grilled fish tacos. Use fresh mahi-mahi or tilapia and season it with cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Then, top it off with some fresh guacamole and salsa.

Wednesday:

On Wednesday, break out the grill and cook up some juicy burgers. Use grass-fed beef or ground turkey and season it with salt and pepper. Top the burgers off with some cheddar cheese, sliced tomatoes, onions, and lettuce. Serve it up with some sweet potato fries or a side salad.

Thursday:

For a vegetarian option, try making a quinoa salad. Use a variety of colorful peppers, black beans, and fresh cilantro to give it a Mexican flavor. Add in some jalapeños for an extra kick. Drizzle some lime juice over the top for a tangy finish.

Friday:

Slow cookers are a great way to make dinner when you don’t have a lot of time. On Friday, why not try making some slow-cooked pulled pork sandwiches? Use a pork shoulder and season it with garlic, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Cook it on low for 8-10 hours and then shred it. Serve it up on some whole wheat buns with some coleslaw on top.

Saturday:

Summer is the perfect time to grill up some shrimp skewers. Use fresh shrimp and season it with lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs. Thread them onto skewers and grill for 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve them up with some grilled veggies and a side of rice.

Sunday:

End the week with a comforting dinner of chicken and dumplings. Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cook them in a chicken broth with some celery, carrots, and onions. Make some homemade dumplings by mixing flour, baking powder, and salt together. Drop spoonfuls of dough into the broth and cook for 10-12 minutes until they are fluffy and cooked through.

In conclusion, these meals are a great way to beat the heat and eat healthy during the week of July 12th. Enjoy the fresh and seasonal ingredients that summer has to offer and happy cooking!
