A busy weekend plus some lazy ideas for the rest of the week equals slow posting on plans, but here they are. I'm capitalizing on the fresh tilapia at Sprouts for $6.99/lb with a quick saute and a touch of balsamic vinegar, as in Bon Appetit's complete dinner, tilapia with balsamic butter sauce, thyme mashed potatoes, and sugar snap peas. (Tilapia is supposedly one of the most eco-friendly farmed fishes.) Vitamin Cottage has the organic russets for a mere $1.50 for a 5 pound bag, but the sugar snap peas might benefit from a more seasonal substitute like beets or chard.
Another easy idea can be put together quickly in a slow cooker in the morning to cook all day, Slow Cooked Tuscan Pork With White Beans, from Cooking Light. This calls for the pork shoulder that's just $1.99/lb at Sunflower right now. I've made it that way and it's good, but I'd prefer a leaner cut, like the pork tenderloin that you could also get at Sunflower for $3.99/lb.
Then for the super easy ideas: first of all, this week's menus provide not one but two possibilities of reheats, the Tuscan pork with beans just mentioned, and the sweet potato and butternut squash soup from the weekend. I'm only suggesting that one be a dinner reheat, since for one of these nights, you'll also be heading out to a restaurant for a First Bite Boulder three course dinner for $26, right?
