I have a feeling this is going to become one of your favorite months of Weeknight Simple.

I’m beyond excited to welcome this month’s guest chef, Grace Elkus. If you’ve spent any time in the high-protein corner of Instagram, you’ve probably come across her recipes. Grace has an incredible gift for creating meals that are protein-forward without ever feeling like “diet food.” They’re colorful, comforting, vegetable-packed, and exactly the kind of recipes I love cooking. And yes, they’ve convinced us that cottage cheese deserves a permanent spot in the refrigerator :)

Choosing just three recipes from her new cookbook, Protein-Packed Vegetarian, was almost impossible, but I finally landed on a menu that feels perfect for late summer.

🥣 Raspberry Chia Pudding Parfaits
🥗 Edamame Salad with Sesame Tofu
🍅 Sheet Pan Summer Veggie Parmesan

Together, they strike that sweet spot between nourishing and comforting, carrying you through hot August days and into the first whispers of fall.

As always, your subscription also includes a shopping list, access to the giant Weeknight Simple recipe archive, and this month, you’ll also be entered to win a copy of Grace’s new cookbook.

If you’ve been meaning to build a better rotation of protein-forward vegetarian meals, this is a wonderful month to jump in.

I’m especially proud of this month’s menu because it weaves together so many of the Ayurvedic principles I’ve been studying over the past year, while still delivering the practical, high-protein, flavor-forward recipes you expect from Weeknight Simple.

Summer Greens Pulao w/ Sumac Raita

Rice is naturally cooling and moistening, making it exactly what the body craves during the hottest months of the year. This pulao is packed with spinach, cilantro, mint, and my favorite ingredient: soaked basil (sabja) seeds. They practically disappear into the rice while adding a remarkable amount of soluble fiber, making them one of my favorite hacks for softening the glucose response of rice-heavy meals. Served with a bright, cooling sumac raita.

Amaranth Porridge w/ Berry-Chia Jam

Amaranth is one of those ancient ingredients that deserves a lot more attention. Revered in both the Americas and India (where it’s known as rajgira), this tiny seed is naturally gluten-free, a complete protein, and considered laghu (light) in Ayurveda. Simmered with cinnamon, cardamom, and ginger, then topped with a quick berry-chia jam, it’s the easiest way I know to preserve a little bit of summer in a jar.

Herby Moong & Barley Soup

Soup in the summer? Stay with me. Barley is one of Ayurveda’s most celebrated cooling grains, and paired with yellow moong dal, it creates a soup that’s light, satisfying, and packed with fiber. Finished with fresh herbs and lemon, it’s essentially a nourishing summer khichdi.

Weeknight Simple is my monthly recipe club featuring 3 protein-rich vegetarian dinners, bonus recipes, shopping lists, and an ever-growing recipe archive.

One of the biggest shifts in my own cooking has been realizing that how well we can digest matters just as much as what we eat.

A few roasted vegetables. A cooked protein. Some whole grains. Plenty of herbs. A generous drizzle of olive oil and a little time for the dressing to work its magic.

The result? Salads that are more satisfying, more flavorful, and often easier on digestion too.

If you want to learn my complete system for building high-protein vegetarian salads that you’ll actually crave all summer, my High-Protein Summer Salads Workshop is 30% off for the final week.
