In this plan, we’re taking advantage of the in-season gems that August has to offer.

It’s time to make room for late summer produce before it slips away: sweet corn with kernels bursting, tomatoes so good they barely need anything done to them, and the ever-so-prolific zucchini. There’s only a small window for this stuff—don’t let it close on you.

Smart Prep Tips for the Week 📝
On Sunday
- For Tuesday’s shrimp bowls, cut up bell pepper and red onions, and refrigerate in an airtight container.
- Do the same for Thursday’s sheet pan chicken Philly cheesesteaks—cut the bell peppers and onions, and store them in their own airtight container. For the mushrooms, line a paper bag with a dry paper towel—it’ll wick away the moisture the mushrooms release as they sit. Add the sliced mushrooms in a single, loose layer (don’t wash them first; excess water is the enemy here), fold the top over loosely so they can still breathe, and set the bag on a shelf in the main part of the fridge, not the door or crisper. They’ll keep nicely for up to 5 days.
