After last week’s fall-like weather, it’s really hitting me that summer is almost over. Personally, I look forward to the change of season and am loving all the cozy recipes (likelast week’s easy one-pot or pan dishes). What I will miss are beach days down on Lake Champlain, tomatoes fresh from the garden and the long, sunny days. So, I’m making the most of late-summer and relying on these easy, 20-minute dinners that will leave time for evening fun!
Your Meal Plan
If you haven’t discovered the magic ofchicken cutletsyet, let me introduce you to theChicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Saucerecipe. The thin-cut chicken cooks quickly and the creamy sauce that goes on top tastes even better than it looks, which is saying a lot. I’m also extra excited about Sunday’sSpeedy Crab Cakes. I love crab cakes but typically only have them when out at a restaurant—something we’re still not doing all that often. (Side note, I really love the remoulade fromthis recipe—see Step 2.) And lastly, even though I used it in a recent newsletter, I had to bring back theGrilled Peach & Brie Smothered Chickenagain for Friday! It’s just too good not to.
I hope you all have a great week and end up loving these recipes as much as I do!
