Weekday Dinner Ideas

How quickly Sunday rolls around, time to get planning the rest of the week's dinners. One of them is a no-brainer, since Sunflower's stunning sales on asparagus, organic broccoli, and chicken tenders are absolutely screaming for chicken, asparagus, and broccoli stir-fry from Bon Appetit for tomorrow. It will go over brown rice, of which I have plenty from Sprouts' recent gluten-free sale.

Tuesday will be a super easy one, our customary reheat of something big made over the weekend, which this week is the baked rigatoni with ricotta and collard greens from MyRecipes.com.

I'll be more ambitious by Wednesday, for which I'm planning another favorite I haven't made in ages, barbecue chicken pizza from Bon Appetit, inspired by seeing smoked gouda on sale at Sunflower, and using more of that sale chicken from there.

We'll ramp down the ambition level for Thursday, just sauteing some pork chops, with microwaved "baked" potatoes or maybe some organic winter squash on the side. Sprouts has their pork loin chops on sale for $2.99 a pound through Wednesday, but I'm also liking Sunflower's new pork line that promised to be antibiotic-free, and those chops are on sale for $3.99 a pound, also through Wednesday.

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