Weeknight Meal Planner: Week of May 16th

A quick soak mellows the sometimes pungent shallots for a quick 20 minute lusciously sweet salad.

Add grilled chicken to this Caprese-inspired pasta toss for the ultimate warmer-weather dinner.

Chesapeake Crab Cakes steal the show when simply served at the center of the plate surrounded by a few summer vegetables.

When we say loaded, we mean it. These nachos require a fork for scooping and foil for lining. Bring the pan right to the table after broiling, and discard the foil after dinner. Cleanup has never been easier!

A Spice Beef Burger in a pita is a weeknight-friendly burger. Top with tzatziki, cucumber and tomato slices, butter lettuce, and fresh mint leaves.

Gooey, melty goodness! If you can't find Camembert cheese, Brie works as a nice substitute. Serve with table water crackers.
