Meal Plan for May Week 1

This month, Megan Gordon is back with us sharing her weekly meal plans! Megan is a writer and recipe developer living in Seattle, WA, the author of Whole Grain Mornings, and mom to a 2-year-old. Please welcome Megan!

May, I thought you'd never come!

While I'm not naive enough to think that we'll magically start seeing warmer temperatures in Seattle anytime soon, it's nice to see the flowers in bloom and the longer days always inspire slightly more leisurely cooking in the evenings.

So this week, I'm excited to get back into the kitchen, relying on fresh seasonal produce and lighter protein-packed meals.

THIS WEEK: Creamy Asparagus Soup, Easy Turkey Burgers, Classic Pasta Primavera, and more!

Click here to see this week’s meal plan!
