Dinner
Weekly Meal Plan: July 1–5
This week, celebrate independence from your sweltering kitchen.
Grilled Chicken Caesar Sandwiches
Deeply charred mustardy chicken thighs are paired with a crunchy and refreshing fennel-basil slaw for the ultimate summer chicken sandwich.
Grilled Summer Squash and Red Onion with Feta
For maximum flavor without compromising char or texture, marinate summer squash after grilling for up to one hour. Bonus: you’ll have plenty of time to get that steak just right.
Corn Cacio e Pepe
Turn the iconic cacio e pepe pasta into something a little more kid-friendly by tossing in fresh corn to add a pop of sweetness to every cheesy, peppery bite.
Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Low investment and high reward, let this not-so-traditional larb become your next late-night go-to meal.
Magic Crispy Chicken
For the satisfaction of fried chicken without the fuss, coat boneless breasts in toasted panko, then bake them. They’re crunchier than any baked chicken you’ve ever had—and they use fewer than 10 ingredients.
Grilled Chicken With Lemon and Thyme
A grilling recipe that's make-ahead friendly and doesn't have to marinate for hours to pick-up great flavor? Oh have we got you covered.
Chicken Under a Brick in a Hurry
Cooking boneless (but skin on!) chicken thighs underneath a heavy skillet renders extra-crispy skin on the outside and super-juicy meat on the inside.
Chicken Thighs With Crunchy Summer Veg
Cooking chicken thighs skin-side down allows the skin to get extra crispy. But why stop the crunch factor there? Pair the chicken with fresh, crunchy summer vegetables.
Soy Sauce–Marinated Grilled Flank Steak and Scallions
We're flipping the script and marinating after grilling. In this case, it's meaty flank steak in a spicy-sweet soy sauce-brown sugar-Sriracha mixture.
Jalapeño-Marinated Grilled Pork Chops
Along with adding some extra smoky-char flavor to the dish, grilling the jalapeños mellows their spiciness. If you want to up the heat, just leave them raw.

What to Cook This Weekend: June 28–30
A stone fruit cocktail and dessert, some grilling, some frying, some salads, and cold brew for the last weekend of June.
Grilled Swordfish with Tomatoes and Oregano
We're flipping the script and marinating after grilling. In this case, it's swordfish steaks in a punchy red wine vinegar dressing with capers and oregano.
Grilled Shrimp with Turmeric Mojo Sauce
To keep shrimp tender, don’t let them sit in the marinade for too long before grilling. The acid in the citrus will start to firm up and cook the flesh.
Grilled Scallops with Nori, Ginger, and Lime
These scallops get tossed with a mix of ground nori, coriander, and ginger before hitting the grill—then plated with citrusy mayo and topped with scallions and red pepper flakes.
Grilled Salt-and-Pepper Black Bass with Curry Verde
Two tips for grilling whole fish like a pro: Use two large metal spatulas to make turning it a lot easier, and season the entire fish—we’re talking head to tail and inside and out.
Garlicky Grilled Squid with Marinated Peppers
Squid loves the grill, getting crispy-charred along the edges and tender in the middle. For even more punch, pair it with smoky bell peppers and a lemony herb salad.
Grilled Salmon with Lemon-Sesame Sauce
Adding an entire lemon—skin, pith, and flesh—to the sauce provides brightness and texture. Any bitterness from the pith will be offset by the sesame oil and honey. That balance makes it a super versatile condiment that pairs well with grilled or roasted vegetables and is great as a topping for stews and braises come winter.
Clams With Spicy Tomato Broth and Garlic Mayo
If you don't have a grill, just heat the cast-iron skillet over medium on your stovetop. Inside or out, you’ll still have buttery clams to enjoy.
Tomato-Watermelon Salad With Turmeric Oil
Sweet, juicy tomatoes and watermelon are soul mates—and they both need salt, spice, and fat to reach their full potential. Here, a turmeric- and cumin-infused coconut oil provides all of that and more.
