Weekend Dinner Ideas

With a busy weekend ahead, this will be quick. Considering Whole Foods is doing a one-day sale today on their wonderful MSC-certified sockeye salmon for $7.99 a pound, tonight's dinner is a no-brainer: sockeye salmon on the grill pan. I think it's best left alone, with just a squeeze of lemon, but Whole Foods also sells a lovely mustard dill marinade in their fish department, if you want to change around the flavor a bit. Asparagus from Sunflower's $1.97 a pound sale and some buttermilk mashed organic potatoes will round it out.

For tomorrow, we're feeling pasta-deprived, and the gigantic shrimp that Sprouts has on sale only through Sunday have me in the mood for my adaptation of linguine with bay scallops, fennel, and tomatoes from Bon Appetit. I've come to like it even better with shrimp than scallops. For the side salad, don't forget about the organic leaf lettuce sales at both Sprouts and Whole Foods.

For Sunday, the Alaskan true cod and organic kale that Whole Foods has at very good prices are calling out for New England seafood chowder, that lovely, heretical recipe from Bon Appetit that includes curry powder, kale, and butternut squash, yippee!! Another organic leaf lettuce side salad, fresh bread, and that's a feast.

Which gets us through the weekend!
