Week of August 8, 2022 - Weekly Meal Ideas


Celebrate National Farmers’ Market Week August 7 – 13!  This weekend is the perfect time to visit your local market and pick up freshly harvested produce, meats, cheese and other great ingredients for your meals this week.

This week’s meal ideas are loaded with in-season ingredients including watermelon, eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, okra, peaches, corn, basil, and more!  From the Balsamic Watermelon Chicken Salad to the Sausage, Kale & Okra Sauté to the Summertime Bolognese, your meals this week can be quick, easy and absolutely delicious!

The Mini Eggplant Pizzas came from an Eat REAL America member request.  If you think you don’t like eggplant, prepare to be blown away!  And the sides this week are all super-easy, refreshing and loaded with flavor!  The Easy Peach Salsa has gotten rave reviews at some recent farmers’ market cooking demos.  It would be great to serve at family and friend get-togethers, as well as the Edamame Tomato Basil Salad.
