This week, please welcome Rachel Knecht and her meal plans! Rachel is a recipe tester here on Simply Recipes and the blogger behind Baking with Rachel.
Before diving in, we wanted to highlight the ultimate way to save time in your week: having your groceries delivered right to your door. Click on the red “Add to Shopping List” button at the bottom of any recipe (or meal plan) and check it out! We call this feature “Relish” and we’re into it because, really, dinner can be simpler.
Welcome to September! I always look forward to this month and all the excitement around the start of a new school year. Yet, I’m not quite ready to let go of the magical summer season. I feel an urgency to squeeze every ounce of the bounty of summer into each meal. Not a single ear of corn or ripe tomato can go uneaten!
Our family likes to commemorate the new school year by having a favorite dinner on the first day. Each of these meals makes an excellent choice. They make the most of the late summer bounty as well as help us transition to a busier schedule.
The shrimp quesadillas are a great way to dress up the standard cheese version. The curried chicken salad with mango is a beautiful golden hue and perfect for a simple late summer meal, preferably eaten outside.
Corn chowder and Dad’s Ratatouille are classic dishes that are worth the effort and may even become a September tradition that everyone looks forward to for years to come.
Lastly, sweet potato waffles with fried egg, bacon, and scallions is a fun way to end a day and make the next day’s breakfast at the same time. I hope you enjoy these meals and have a wonderful start to September!
