Pre-Sunday Dinners

Everybody's thinking Super Bowl, but we still need to plan some dinners before then. I'm thinking of trying a new (to me) recipe for the cod that's $6.99/lb at Sprouts, cod, potato, and fennel casserole, from Gourmet magazine. Fennel is so good in winter dishes, and five pound bags of russets are just $2.50 at Sunflower. Next, with chicken tenders $1.88/lb at Sprouts, it might be time for barbeque chicken pizza from Bon Appetit, which tastes more decadent than it really is. In fact, it would be good for a Super Bowl party, but I have another idea for Sunday. This pizza is really good finished with a sprinkling of fresh cilantro. As for the crust, you could do it as written or try it with fresh dough from our favorite stores. Another option, what I'd been doing before I discovered the fresh dough at Whole Foods, is to buy a plain pizza dough from Nick 'n Willy's - just tell them which size dough you'd like, "rolled and wrapped," and you'll get a flat dough ready for your toppings.
