The Rest of This Week's Dinner Ideas

With tomorrow being Valentine's Day, we've already covered it with the Valentine's Day preview about the salmon with mustard-dill sauce. That only leaves us Tuesday through Thursday, which of course includes an easy reheat from the weekend's cooking, and in this case it will be the smoky shrimp and halibut stew. The shrimp I have in that stew from the Whole Foods one-day sale last week are so huge, they practically require a knife to eat.

Moving on to some actual cooking, we haven't had anything with rice yet in the week, and the current grocery sales are crying out for stir-fried beef with broccoli and yams from Bon Appetit. Stir fry beef is on sale at Sunflower for $3.99 a pound, and you'll also find organic broccoli there for just 99 cents a pound, while organic yams are just 97 cents a pound at Sprouts through Wednesday.

We'll finish off the midweek planning with a simple saute of pork chops, which are $3.99 a pound through Wednesday at Sunflower. Whole Foods also has American Homestead pork loin chops for $5.99 a pound through Tuesday, and I bet they're great. A microwaved "baked" potato goes on the side, along with a green veggie, perhaps the organic chard that's $1.50 a bunch at Whole Foods through Tuesday, or the asparagus that's $1.99 a pound at both Sprouts and Sunflower through Wednesday.

And that will get us through to Friday's planning.
