If you have kids starting school, it may feel like summer is almost over, but the fresh produce is still going strong! Take advantage of those fresh peaches, tomatoes, melons, and corn while you can! My favorite meal idea this week is inspired from our recent Chicago visit…the Bi Bim Bop! With its catchy name, it is a Korean dish that means “mixed rice,” but it is much more than just rice. This version has veggies and beef and great Korean flavor! Along with the Peach Pecan Salad, Grilled Balsamic Chicken Legs, Charred Corn Salad, Summer Stuffed Peppers, and more – you could be eating really well this week!
And enjoying wine with these meals too! Thank you Beyond Napa for the wine pairings:
Bi Bim Bop: Evolution White Blend from California
Summer Stuffed Peppers: Padrillos Torrontes from Argentina
Grilled Balsamic Chicken Legs: Poggio Anima Gabriel from Italy
Zucchini Noodles with Roasted Tomatoes: Trivento Pinot Noir from Argentina
Shrimp, Sweet Potato and Kale Skillet: Praia Vino Verde from Portugal
