Menu: Cook for Good Summer Challenge, Week 1

Here's the menu for week 1 of the summer Cook for Good Challenge. Make these meals in just 20 minutes a day using the Starter Plan and recipes from Wildly Affordable Organic.  Complete the meals with your own favorites.

Notice how cooking just a few minutes a day adds up! If you continue cooking just 20 minutes a day, you'll be making about 60% of your food from scratch by the third week. For the second week of the Cook for Good Challenge, though, you'll be making all of your food from scratch.
