Sheet Pan Fajitas: Mix sliced bell peppers, onions, and chicken strips with fajita seasoning on a baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is cooked through, and serve with tortillas.
Caprese Salad: “Caprese salad (insalata caprese if you’re on Capri) is a dish to make when fresh tomatoes are at their peak.” Arrange sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves on a plate. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Vegetarian Stir-Fry: Sauté your favorite vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, and carrots in a wok or skillet. Add tofu or your preferred protein, and stir in a tasty stir-fry sauce.
Pasta Primavera: Boil your favorite pasta and toss it with sautéed mixed vegetables (zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and peas) in a light Alfredo or olive oil-based sauce.
Baked Salmon with Lemon and Herbs: Place salmon filets on a baking sheet. Season with lemon juice, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Bake until the salmon is flaky.
Quesadillas: Fill tortillas with cheese, black beans, corn, and any other desired ingredients. Cook on a skillet until the cheese is melted and the tortillas are crispy.
Tomato Basil Pasta: Cook pasta and toss it with a simple sauce made from sautéed garlic, fresh tomatoes, and basil. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil.
Homemade Pizza: Use store-bought pizza dough or tortillas as the base. Add your favorite toppings and bake until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
These ideas are versatile and can be customized based on your preferences and what ingredients you have on hand. “Foods that are in season may taste better and offer greater nutritional value, and buying them can support local farmers and your community’s economy.” Enjoy a quick and easy-to-prepare dinner!
