More Dinners For This Week

I'm only looking for three more dinners to round out the week, since we unexpectedly wound up pushing everything back a day over the weekend. But here's how the rest of the week looks.

We've already seen temperatures hit the mid-80s, and we're headed back there by the middle of this week, so the cooler early week temps might call for one last pizza hot out of the oven. With chicken a good price at Sunflower, one of my favorite recipes is barbeque chicken pizza from Bon Appetit. The combination of smoked gouda and barbeque sauce is decadently stunning, and it's great topped with chopped cilantro after baking, as one of the reviewers suggests.

The pasta dish to which I'm planning on adding a bunch of pea shoots from the Farmers Market isn't happening until tonight, so I can't yet comment on whether it's successful. But I'm expecting to have about a half a bag of pea shoots left, and I'm thinking they should make a good addition to shrimp risotto with peas from the New York Times. Shrimp happens to be on sale at Sprouts this week, so it's a good match.

Finally, to fit in something with an Asian spin, and to take advantage of pork stew meat on sale at Sunflower, I'm thinking five spice pork stir-fry with soba noodles, which also hails from Bon Appetit. I picked up beautiful radishes for it from Isabelle Farm at the Farmers Market, and if there are any of Red Wagon farm's Walla Walla onions left after the pasta dish, they'll go in too, in place of some of the green onions.

And that will do us for the remainder of the week!
