A busy week of festivities to celebrate, with the Olympics opening tomorrow, Valentine's Day Sunday, and Mardi Gras on Tuesday. In honor of the Olympics, I'm thinking something vegetarian and with carbs for tomorrow, like a vegetarian pasta. (Note the Vitelli whole wheat pasta 99 cent sale at Sunflower and stock up!!) The pasta I have in mind isn't online anywhere - it involves a sauce of marinated artichoke hearts, roasted green chiles, light sour cream, a little olive oil, and lots of freshly grated parmesan over whole wheat pasta, wow. With romas 99 cents a pound at Sunflower, a good alternative would be linguine with spicy leek and tomato sauce from Bon Appetit.
Next, since chicken sausage is on sale at both Sprouts and Sunflower, and organic yams are 99 cents/lb at Sunflower (also organic leaf lettuce for the side salad), that screams for sweet potato and sausage soup from Bon Appetit. You have to cook the sausage anyway, so substituting your choice of sausage seems perfectly reasonable.
Then, oh my, we're on to Valentine's Day. Steak and lobster tail specials are everywhere, and are highlighted in my hot deals of the week sidebar. Since clogging one's sweetie's arteries isn't my idea of an ideal expression of love, think I'll opt instead for salmon, mustard greens, and potatoes with mustard-dill glaze, yet another from Bon Appetit. This recipe is so easy yet flavorful, with the mustard-dill sauce flavoring everything. Might not be able to resist some of the cooked shrimp from Sprouts at $3.99/lb to start.
More to come shortly.
