Happy Friday all, time to get going with dinner plans, starting with tonight, which will be cod, potato, and fennel casserole from Gourmet magazine. This week's sales at Sprouts are screaming for this delicious dish, since organic russet potatoes are $2.50 for a five pound bag, and haddock, which is easily interchangeable with cod, is just $3.97 a pound. Asparagus from Wednesday's one-day sale at Whole Foods will go on the side, roasted in the oven in the style of my friend Ms. A., making good use of an already running oven.
A big soup for Saturday sounds like a good idea, and I'm in the mood for Mexican chicken soup. This recipe is from Whole Foods and calls for boneless skinless chicken breasts, which you can get there or through the sales at Sprouts and Sunflower. My own recipe isn't online, since it's from the American Heart Association Cookbook. It calls for a whole chicken, which I have from the last day that Rocky Jr chickens were on sale at Sprouts for the incredible price of 99 cents a pound. I'll also get to use some roasted chilies stashed away in my freezer during last fall's chile roasting season.
A bit of beef will round out the weekend, and the boneless beef short ribs that are $3.99 a pound at Sprouts are calling me. We'll probably bake them tossed in some barbeque sauce, baking some of those sale organic russets on the side. A fun alternative is pasta with tomato sauce and ribs, a slow cooker version originally published in the New York Times, although I don't see it there now. Having something in your slow cooker for Oscar night might be a good idea.
And that gets us through the weekend, with weekdays still to come. Stay safe in the little bit of snow we're having this morning.
