Chef's Notes

My weekly meal plan for this Cypress, TX menu starts with Lemon Pistachio-Crusted Halibut and Lemony Kale, Almonds & Cranberry Quinoa for the first dinner. For another dinner, I would pair DF Basil Pesto Chicken Breasts with Garlic Sautéed Mixed Mushrooms & Spinach and another portion of quinoa. Planning two uses for the quinoa lets the protein and vegetable change without needing a separate starch for every meal.

I recommend reheating Turkey Zucchini Meatballs with Dairy-Free Yogurt Tzatziki with the tzatziki held back until serving. For refrigerated meatballs, start with 15–20 minutes covered at 350°F, then check that the centers are hot and continue heating if needed. I would warm Garlic Sautéed Mixed Mushrooms & Spinach separately in a skillet over medium heat for 3–5 minutes, checking that they are also heated through.

For dairy-free substitutions, I used dairy-free yogurt in Turkey Zucchini Meatballs with Dairy-Free Yogurt Tzatziki, and DF Basil Pesto Chicken Breasts provides a second explicitly dairy-free protein. Nut allergies need a separate review: Lemon Pistachio-Crusted Halibut contains pistachios, and Lemony Kale, Almonds & Cranberry Quinoa contains almonds. I would discuss substitutions for those dishes individually, since replacing dairy does not remove the nuts.
