Cross meal-planning off your to-do list this week.
I don't care that it isn't technically summer. As far as I'm concerned, summer begins June 1. And since we're now two weeks into the most delicious season of the year, it's time to start cranking out the seasonal hits including grilled pizza, pasta salad, and these mouthwatering sausage and pepper hoagies. (Maybe good for Father's Day if you don't already have a plan?) I hope you're enjoying the longer days and savoring every seasonal bite. | |

| Skillet Chicken Thighs with Fresh Cherry Salsa | I adore adding sweet fruit to my savory dishes. If you're like me, try this recipe asap. Chicken thighs start on the stove-top and finish in the oven while you throw together a bright, fresh cherry salsa with shallots, lemon, and herbs. A buttery balsamic glaze is the finishing touch. Divine! | |

|
| Grilled Asparagus and Hot Honey Flatbreads | Store-bought naan makes an ideal canvas for a quick dinner, especially when topped with creamy lemon-spiked ricotta, peppery arugula, crunchy pistachios, grilled asparagus, and a generous drizzle of hot honey. We like Mike's brand, or to make your own, simply whisk together equal parts honey and sriracha. | |

|
| Saucy Shrimp Stir-Fry with Noodles | What's summery about this dish, you ask? The fact that it takes only 20 minutes to cook! Plump shrimp and saucy noodles are accompanied by meaty shiitake mushrooms and crisp ribbons of bok choy for a filling meal that's truly fast. If you can't find bok choy, swap in spinach. | |

|
| Green Goddess Pasta Salad | Sure, this recipe is a winning cookout side, but it's also an excellent, veggie-full dinner. A variety of herbs, plus crisp-tender broccoli, give the dressing its vibrant green color. A sprinkle of crushed pita chips offers crunch, and briny, salty feta, and onion-y chives round out all the flavors. | |

|
|
| Sausage and Pepper Hoagies with Harissa Mayo | Mixing a spoonful of harissa, a widely available North African chile paste, into mayo and then slathering the mixture all over these sandwiches is the key to big-time deliciousness. Don't forget the napkins! | |
|
|
|
| No-Churn Chocolate Cherry Ice Cream | Yes, you can have homemade ice cream without an ice cream maker! The secret is that delicious pantry staple sweetened condensed milk. If this recipe gives you Cherry Garcia vibes, you're not wrong. | |
