Am still hoping today's showers will stay away long enough to get our ribs off the grill tonight. Our household bbqmeister will be out there, rain or shine.
As for the rest of the week's dinners, we'd next be looking for something with rice as a backdrop, and with asparagus a decent sale price at Whole Foods and plenty of chicken in my freezer, it will be chicken, asparagus, and broccoli stir fry from Bon Appetit, served over brown rice. Speaking of rice, remember that Sprouts is doing 25% off all its tagged gluten-free products this month.
Next will be an easy midweek reprise of the potato and root veggie chowder, which makes so much.
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, I'll do something along the fajita lines, with either the chicken or beef fajitas on sale at Whole Foods, or the pollo or carne asado/asada on sale at Sprouts. Don't forget that Sprouts has avocados for 25 cents apiece this week.
Finally, to finish with a pasta dish and continue the celebration with chilies, I'll make a pasta dish that isn't available anywhere online, but is so good. The gist of it is to combine chopped marinated artichokes with diced green chilies and a bit of water in a large saute pan, add some light sour cream or nonfat plain yogurt, olive oil, and grated parmesan, and when the sauce is blended, toss into it your cooked pasta of choice (a cut pasta shape works best). I always keep roasted chilies in the freezer from the fall harvest, and Abbondanza Farm has had a nice selection at the Boulder Farmers Market for the past two weeks.
And that will do it for this week's planning. P.S. Is it an affirmation of budget-mindedness that yesterday's winner of the Kentucky Derby was a horse named Super Saver?
