The Rest of This Week's Dinner Ideas

With temperatures heading to 95 today, we all should be thinking salads for dinner, but salad as a main course has never been too appealing to me. Instead, I'll take advantage of this week's chicken sausage sales and do a simple pasta with sausage, onion, bell pepper, bottled pasta sauce, and maybe some chopped fennel, relegating the salad to its rightful place on the side.

As predicted, the cod chowder made enough for a second appearance on Tuesday, with another salad on the side, with my own buttermilk dressing.

Midweek is for quick and easy dinners, like the chowder reprise. Another quick one is pork chops on sale at Sunflower, accompanied by potatoes "baked" in the microwave, with something nice and green, like chard sauteed with a little garlic and red pepper flakes, on the side.

Time to incorporate something with rice, and with chicken breasts $1.97/lb at Sunflower, I'll go for kung pao chicken from Cooking Light. There's always a bag of edamames in my freezer, a quick side for anything with an Asian influence.

That was easy, and we're done for the week.
