Hi everyone!

Our local farmer’s market is finally open for summer and all of us are thrilled. My oldest daughter celebrated with one of her favorite market snacks, new pickle on a stick. (Here’s my recipe inspired by it.)

We stocked up on our usuals: steak and chicken wings from Cotton Cattle Co.; olives, pickled onions, and sauerkraut from Pickle Licious; and I spotted two big flower bushes for our balcony from Stony Hill Farms. And I’m pleasantly surprised by how good the tomatoes look already! They can be hit or miss this early in the year, but the ones I got were so delicious that they made their way onto the menu this week. I filled my bag with a green cabbage on our way out just because it looked so inviting.

‘tis the season

Our market bounty inspired the menu for this week. It really highlights how I eat, with lots of bright flavors, fresh herbs, and seasonal produce.

Here’s what’s on the menu for paid subscribers:

a quick greek salad, my go-to sheet pan dinner, & a big herby salada quick greek salad, my go-to sheet pan dinner, & a big herby salada quick greek salad, my go-to sheet pan dinner, & a big herby salad
a quick greek salad, my go-to sheet pan dinner, & a big herby salad + your favorite protein

These are the perfect meals to keep in your repertoire all summer long, ideal for easy weeknight meals and when you want to feed a crowd. I paired the herby salad with steak and grilled veggies (zucchini and eggplant), but you could keep things indoors with a simple seared ribeye, the sheet pan fish, or marinated chicken. What other protein recipes would you be interested in? We’re talking about it in the chat!

For all the tools I used for today’s recipes, head over to my LTK shop.

Quick Greek Salad

This is one of those salads you’ll dream of 8 (or more!) months out of the year while waiting for juicy summer tomatoes to come back into season. Everything is coarsely chopped so it only takes a few minutes to make, but you’ll be soaking up the compliments way longer.
