Oh, hey there summertime. Is it July 4th already? Right about now I am feeling all.of.the.summer.cliches.

How did summer go by so quickly?

How is my baby already 1?!

How will I survive this Georgia heat?

As much as I like to complain about being too hot and/or summer flying by too quickly, I actually truly enjoy summer and all of the amazing foods that are in season right now. I think I actually wait all year just for that first bite of a fresh summer peach.

Week 2 of my One Month of Easy Dinnersย meal plan features some of summerโ€™s best and also some of my favorites:

  • zucchini
  • fresh corn
  • avocado
  • ripe tomatoes

As well as some easy pantry staples like black beans and rice.


One of my favorite meal planning hacks is to use my Printable Weekly Meal Planner to keep track of what we’re having for dinner that week.

After last weekโ€™s post, I realized that I failed to mention that these dinner plans feed all 3 of us: Me, Eric and our one year old.

A reader messaged me to ask if I make our toddler a separate dinner, and the answer is: ainโ€™t nobody got time for that. Our one year old is our little foodie-in-training.

She is currently crushing on:

  • shrimp
  • cherry tomatoes
  • asian flavors
  • and pasta (who isnโ€™t?)

When we sit down for meals, I just take a scoop off of my plate (tastes better when itโ€™s from mom or dadโ€™s plate, obv) and put it on her ezpz. โ† you need one of these in your life ASAP.
