Weekend Dinner Ideas

So it's Friday already, time to quickly bang out some dinner ideas for the weekend. With haddock just $3.97 a pound, for tonight I'll do my spin on cod chowder with saffron and fingerling potatoes from Bon Appetit. I'll replace the cod with the nearly interchangeable haddock, and use organic russets instead of the harder to find (and pricier) fingerlings, and it will still be great.

For tomorrow, Sunflower's sale on boneless skinless chicken breasts for $1.99 a pound and organic romaine lettuce for $1 a head is encouraging me to get adventurous with a a new recipe from the current issue of Bon Appetit, parmesan chicken with Caesar roasted romaine. Which reminds me, if you get a chance to try the grilled romaine salad with poached egg at The Kitchen Upstairs, I highly recommend going for it.

Since Sunday will be our first day of Daylight Savings time and temperatures are predicted to be in the mid-60s, I'll go out on a limb of celebration to plan our first outdoor grilling of 2012, ginger-soy grilled steak from Bon Appetit. Sunflower has top sirloin for $5.99 a pound (not the best price ever, but okay), and they also have organic yams at just $1 a pound, and they make a great side done as spears either on the grill or in the oven.

Which gets us through to the weekday planning.
