Weekday Dinner Ideas

With very little time available, here's a quick rundown on dinner plans for the rest of the week.  We'll want something vegetarian for tomorrow, and with asparagus $1.47 a pound at Sunflower, it will be pasta with sugar snap peas, asparagus, and parmesan from Bon Appetit.  It's a little early to have local sugar snaps, but the ones I just picked up at Whole Foods are beautiful.

Tuesday is our usual reheat of something big made over the weekend, which this week is the enlarged version I made of mushroom and sausage ragu with polenta, from Cooking Light.

Wednesday will be another last vestige of cold weather cooking, stir-fried beef with broccoli and yams from Bon Appetit, served over brown rice.  Sunflower has the organic yams for 88 cents a pound and organic broccoli is $1.29 a pound at Sprouts, both through Wednesday (although you obviously have to figure your own list and shopping route - nobody is going to drive to a second store to save a few cents a pound).

Thursday will be so simple, our frequent end of the week fall back of sauteed pork chops with microwaved baked potatoes and a quick side veggie.  My pork chops will be pulled from the freezer from last week's incredible $1.79 a pound sale at Sprouts, but they have the same for $3.99 a pound through Wednesday (unless Wednesday's new sale offers a lower price, which is possible).

Which gets us through to Friday's planning.
