More Dinners For This Week

Rounding out the dinners for the week, I'm thinking about the chicken breast tenders for $1.69/lb at Sprouts. One good way to use them would be chicken burritos with poblano chiles and corn from Bon Appetit, but for ease, substituting roasted Hatch chiles from the freezer. (Whole Foods has roasted fresh chiles every fall, good to keep frozen through the year.)

With organic eggplant only $1/lb at Whole Foods, this week's pasta dish will be penne with eggplant from Cooking Light, using Sunflower's inexpensive whole wheat pasta. Hope you stocked up on pasta sauce during last week's sale.

For an Asian spin, and to incorporate more sale chicken, it's time for spicy stir fried chicken and greens from Bon Appetit, served over brown rice. I wonder how it would be with the organic chard that's $1.50/bunch at Whole Foods.

Finally, for a super-quick dinner, you can make a modern spin on tuna casserole by preparing a box of Annie's mac and cheese ($1/box at Sprouts), tossing in a can of nice tuna and some defrosted peas. Quick comfort food. Also really good to keep these ingredients in stock to pull off this dinner when you aren't prepared to do something else.
