Welcome to our Week 17 dinner menu! This week, we've put together a comforting and flavorful meal plan that combines the warmth of home-cooked meals with some global inspiration. As always, we've designed the menu to minimize the need for multiple ingredients and to make grocery shopping a breeze. Here's what we have in store for you:

Monday: Hearty Minestrone Soup

Start the week with a bowl of warm and nourishing Minestrone Soup, packed with vegetables, beans, and pasta. This Italian classic will keep you satisfied and energized for the days ahead.

Tuesday: Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry

For Tuesday, we're taking you on a trip to Asia with a delicious Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry. This quick and easy dish is full of flavor and pairs perfectly with steamed jasmine rice.

Wednesday: Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Pasta

Indulge in a rich and creamy Spinach and Artichoke Pasta on Wednesday. This comforting dish is a delightful blend of tender pasta, creamy sauce, and flavorful vegetables.

Thursday: Chicken Shawarma Wraps

On Thursday, enjoy the exotic flavors of the Middle East with Chicken Shawarma Wraps. Tender, marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and a tangy garlic-yogurt sauce are all wrapped up in warm pita bread.

Friday: Baked Cod with Roasted Vegetables

Round out the week with a light and flavorful Baked Cod with Roasted Vegetables. This simple yet elegant dish highlights the natural flavors of fresh fish and seasonal vegetables.

Wine Recommendations

To complement this week's menu, we have chosen three versatile wines that pair well with a variety of dishes:

  1. A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir - This smooth and fruity Pinot Noir from Oregon is a great match for the Beef and Broccoli Stir-Fry, Chicken Shawarma Wraps, and Baked Cod with Roasted Vegetables.
  2. La Crema Chardonnay Sonoma Coast - This crisp and refreshing Chardonnay is perfect for the Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Pasta and the Baked Cod with Roasted Vegetables.
  3. Chateau Ste. Michelle Gewürztraminer - This aromatic and slightly sweet Gewürztraminer pairs well with the Chicken Shawarma Wraps and can also be enjoyed with the Hearty Minestrone Soup.
