Spring Meal Plan #7
Four weeknight dinners, one prep-ahead breakfast, and zero Tuesday night regrets.
Four weeknight dinners without regret; that’s the goal here every week. This week we’ve got a ginger cashew beef that tastes like your favorite Thai spot, shrimp tostadas that are practically begging to be eaten on the porch, a Mediterranean turkey burger that will make you forget you’ve ever been bored by ground turkey, and the Bang Bang Salmon every one loves making a very welcome return. Every recipe here is linked to the original source, because our job isn’t to reinvent the wheel, it’s to find the best wheels on the internet, try them out on a real weeknight so you don’t have to, and tell you exactly what to tweak, skip, or simplify. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or joining us for the first time, here’s what you need to know: We’re not food bloggers, just two girls who really love a good dinner and hate wasting a Tuesday night on a recipe that wasn’t worth it. Let’s do this.
DINNER #1: Bang Bang Salmon | Total time: 22 minutes | Serves: 4 | Fast & Easy
You’ve seen this Bang Bang Salmon before, so you’re an old pro at it now! Between having made it before and how fast it cooks, you’ll have dinner handled in no time. The sauce takes two minutes to mix and does all the heavy lifting. This is genuinely one of the fastest dinners we make and it feels way fancier than the effort deserves. The longest part of this recipe is cooking rice to go with it, so if you need to get this on the table in 10 minutes or less, check the notes!
Notes:
Make it Quick: Use microwave or minute rice and either a premade salsa or quick veggie like frozen steamed broccoli.
Swap: You can swap about half of the mayo for greek yogurt if you need or want to. The cucumber salsa is yum, but you could use another fruit like orange, mango or pineapple here if you want to mix it up..
Check your fridge: You’re using sweet chili sauce in two recipes this week, but since we’ve made this before, check to see if you have it leftover!
