Welcome to this week’s Dinner Divas Weekly Meal Plan! This week’s menu features several easy pasta dishes, which we all know are lovely for the summertime because they don’t require the use of the oven. We’re also featuring TWO desserts–one heavy on the dairy and one without. #yourewelcome

What is the weekly meal plan?

In case you’re new around these parts, I share a new menu plan here every Friday morning. It will always include FIVE dinner options and TWO extras, curated by me and my friends, who make up the Dinner Divas. Our dinner options feature (mostly) healthy, seasonal foods that don’t take all day to prepare because nobody has time for that. 😉 And the extras we share can be side dishes, desserts, drinks, etc.

We hope this weekly menu helps you create your shopping list and prepare for the week ahead, as well as provide inspiration. And hey, if it makes your life a little easier, too, we’re thrilled to help! 

Y’all ready for this?

Dessert Recipe #2: Dairy Free Peach Cobbler

Dessert Recipe #2: Dairy Free Peach Cobbler

If you're in the market for a dairy free dessert, this PEACH COBBLER is a summertime favorite over here! In fact, most people wouldn't know it's dairy free if you didn't tell them. The peaches get nice and gooey, and the cobbler topping is wonderfully crumbly. Serve with your favorite dairy-free ice cream, and you're good to go!
