Simply Recipes 2019 Meal Plan: July Week 4

This month, we welcome back Marta Rivera for more of her meal plans. Marta is a trained chef, mom of twins, and wife to a newly-retired soldier!

Piggybacking on last week’s whine-fest over the scorching weather, this week I’m focusing on light meals that won’t make me any more lethargic than Mother Nature is already making me feel.

Crisp, refreshing, and vibrant meals are on deck for this week’s plan (yes, even that soup!). Many of them are meals that will transform seamlessly from dinner to lunch, and which are also enjoyable hot or cold.

Focusing on lighter fare reminds me to always be on the lookout for specials on chicken breasts, salmon fillets, and other proteins that I can grill and store in my freezer for easy-to-assemble meals later on.
