Food for a Month: Week 2Looking for more quick yummy dinners? Our Food for a Month series continues with a second week of delicious recipes. (Go here for the recipes from week one.)

Click on the first slide below for your complete shopping list for week two; the recipes will follow. Then, do the prep work that will set you up for an entire week of easy, homemade meals.

The Menu

Day 1: Chicken and a rainbow of grilled vegetables
Day 2: Grilled vegetable sandwich
Day 3: Pesto pasta
Day 4: Vegetable chili
Day 5: Peanut butter stew
Snack: Kale chips

The Plan for Week 2

Pull the chicken from the fridge, set on a plate, pat it dry and follow these grilling instructions. In meantime, prep onion, sweet potatoes, peppers, garlic and corn following our grilling instructions here.

Once ready, turn the grill to high: Place the peppers on the hottest spot and place onion, garlic and sweet potato foil packets on the coolest part of the grill.?When the grill is hot, turn to medium and add the zucchini and mushrooms. Place the corn on the grill and turn to low. Prop up chicken on grill according to instructions and cover.

Let cook until peppers and corn husks are charred (15-20 minutes), onions are translucent/garlic and sweet potatoes are soft (about 30 ? 40 minutes). When garlic is cool, gently squeeze cloves and they will slide out of their casing. Chicken will take about an hour to cook.

Finally, clean the cilantro and the kale, then make the cilantro pesto?and the kale chips.

Note: Each recipe for the following days calls for 1/4 of the chicken. Think of each breast as 1/4 of the chicken and each thigh plus drum stick as 1 portion. Feel free to mix it up by using 1/2 of the breast and either the leg or thigh as a portion to enjoy both light and dark meat.
