August 2016 Weeknight Dinner Ideas Part 2

Hi y’all!  It’s my last full week at home before three weeks of work travel.  This realization resulted in me going a bit overboard at the farmers market this week in anticipation of a few stale airport meals in the weeks to come…  Whoops!      

You will notice that several of the recipes featured this week need some advanced prep work, but this results in less kitchen time after a long day at work! If you are looking for something super quick and easy, then check out the sausage and peaches recipe.  You can make the pickled chiles in advance for a fast dinner after a late day in the office.  

Finally, for anyone interested in swapping bacon for pancetta in the pork recipe below, I can vouch that it is still delicious!  

Ok, I am off to start marinating the short ribs for tomorrow!  As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and share my blog with your friends!
