Once we get past the Super Bowl, it will be time for some calm, quiet comfort food. With those chicken tenders at Sprouts for $1.88/lb, it might be time for my own pasta invention that doesn't have a name. It's essentially chicken and miscellaneous veggies with whole wheat penne, fusilli, or whatever your inclination, with parmesan freshly grated on top. After diced chicken is mostly cooked, what I usually throw in is chopped onion and garlic, broccoli florets, diced mushrooms, and chopped tomatoes. Also nice to pick up roasted red pepper and pitted kalamata olives from a place like the Whole Foods antipasto bar to add. Moisten with a little chicken broth or pasta cooking water, and you're done.
Even easier, there will be a reprise of Sunday's veggie chili.
Since I'll be stocking up on organic winter squash (99 cents a pound) at Sunflower, and shrimp are on sale at both Sunflower (really big ones for $6.99/lb) and Sprouts (smaller ones for $3.99/lb), it's time for another round of butternut squash risotto with shrimp.
Finally, with sockeye $9.99/lb at Sprouts and my $2.50 five pound bag of organic russets already purchased from Sunflower, a simple saute of salmon with a baked (microwaved) potato on the side is in order, with some nice side veggie as well, of course.
Sounds like a good week for veggies!
