What to Cook This Week: A Father’s Day Note & High Protein Summer Dinners
What to Cook This Week: June 9–13
Hi friends,
Happy Father’s Day weekend! I hope it’s been a weekend of traditions, memories, and a little extra time gathered around the table (indoors or out!).
Just published on 31Daily is a brand-new dinner plan I’ve been looking forward to sharing: High Protein Summer Dinners. It’s filled with quick and easy meals that help keep energy levels high and cooking light during the warm-weather season.
You’ll find a few favorites from that plan below—along with a couple of seasonal swaps inspired by our June Monthly Meal Plan. As always, these recipes are quick to pull together, full of flavor, and perfect for busy weeknights.
Wishing you a fantastic week—and a beautiful Father’s Day!
Happy cooking,
Stephanie
Weeknight Dinner Plan: June 9–13
Monday: Bruschetta Chicken Bake
Fresh, juicy tomatoes meet melty mozzarella in this easy chicken bake. Great with a green salad or garlic bread.
Tuesday: Mediterranean Zucchini Frittata
Bright, wholesome, and protein-packed—this one is great for warm evenings and lunch leftovers.
Wednesday: Mediterranean Ground Turkey Skillet
A midweek go-to: This quick, one-pot skillet with rice, orzo, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and Mediterranean flavors is a great idea for weeknight dinners in 30 minutes or less!
Thursday: Quick Shrimp Tacos
Zesty, quick, and ready in under 20 minutes. It’s a summer classic that never fails.
Friday: Grilled Carne Asada
A favorite recipe that’s so quick to prep— perfect for Friday nights (or any weekend grilling you have planned!).
Featured Dessert
Because summer and quick and easy desserts belong together, here’s what I’m making this week:
Easy Strawberry Rhubarb Tart
This Strawberry Rhubarb Tart, or crostata, is an easy, effortless, delicious way to celebrate the season. Whether using a ready-made or a simple homemade crust, it’s a recipe brimming with sunshine flavor and a hint of mint, and is incredibly simple to make.
