Time to get thinking about the rest of this week's dinners, under today's gloomy skies. Still on a fennel kick with the fennel on sale at Sunflower (they like to call it anise), and we need to fit some pasta in, I'm thinking spicy spaghetti with fennel and herbs from Bon Appetit. Will probably substitute parmesan (don't forget about the great cheese sale going on at Sprouts) for the romano. I picked up a beautiful head of romaine lettuce yesterday from the Abbondanza stand at the Farmers Market for the side salad.
I don't usually prepare soups from scratch in the middle of the week, but there's one from Cooking Light that comes together in a snap, and is perfect for this week's sales, chipotle turkey and corn soup. It can be made with either turkey or chicken tenders, and Sprouts has good prices on both this week.
Then it's time for a rice dish. Sunflower has Mozzarella Fresca fresh mozzarella at a good sale price and my herb pots are really cranking, so I'll improvise a vegetarian rice dish flavored with fresh herbs and mozzarella, yum.
Finally, for another super easy dinner on what should be a pretty hot day (we should eventually see the sun this week, and it should be back to 90 on Thursday), pork loin chops for $3.99/lb at Sprouts with microwaved "baked" potatoes are a quick standby. The chops on sale at Sunflower are sirloin, a different cut, that I'd rather use in something like a stir fry.
And that will do us for the week, and get us tantalizingly close to the start of summer.
