Nothing screams “Spring is here and Summer is on the way” more than a BLT! To celebrate the BLT, we have included a BLT Salad in this week’s meal plan that is incredibly good, especially with fresh ingredients from the farmer’s market! The Chipotle Balsamic dressing adds more great flavor to this salad! Another fresh find at the farmer’s market right now is rhubarb. Thinking outside of the “pie and cobbler” box, we have included a delicious and different idea what to do with it…rhubarb salsa! This salsa is a perfect topping for your favorite white fish (it would be great on chicken, too, or heck…eat it all by itself!) And, just in case you need meal ideas for upcoming busy weeknights, or if you are just looking for something to come together quick so you can relax and enjoy the weather, the Slow Cooker Moroccan Chicken Bites and Pasta with Mint, Lemon and Spring Peas should both come in handy! Two others, definitely worth mentioning, are the Spring Green Couscous – super delicious – and the Portobello Stuffed with Sausage, Spinach and Mozzarella – grilling the portobellos makes them taste amazing and our kids (who aren’t mushroom fans) loved the stuffing all by itself!
