Happy, warm Boulder Sunday morning. Here's a quick rundown of dinner plans for the rest of the week.
With tonight being our vegetarian pea shoot experiment (see a couple of posts below), we'll be in the mood for a bit of beef by tomorrow, and a good weekday option is sirloin steak with tomato and cilantro sauce from Bon Appetit. I like to wrap it in warm tortillas for a weekday meal, and the sauce is spectacularly flavorful. It can be sped up by using pre-cut stew beef ($4.49 a pound at Sprouts through Wednesday) instead of sirloin, and Sunflower has organic hothouse tomatoes for $1.50 a pound, up from last week's 99 cents (of which I have a couple to use).
Tuesday is our usual reheat of something big made over the weekend, which this week is our springtime variant on escarole soup from Saveur magazine, made with braising mix from Cure Organic Farm instead of escarole, and turkey instead of beef.
For Wednesday, we'll take advantage of the last day of Sprouts' 30% off pork extravaganza to fit in an Asian-styled dish over rice, garlic pork with tomato and basil from Cooking Light. Until my own basil plants mature, dried basil also works in the dish, and this will be our second spectacular sauce of the week.
Still needing a pasta dish, we'll finish off the planning with an easy one for Thursday, spaghetti with turkey meatballs, using a quality jarred pasta sauce, and meatballs molded from the turkey meatloaf that's on sale for $2.99 a pound through Wednesday at Sunflower.
Which gets us to Friday's planning.
