With little time for planning, and even less for writing, here's a quick rundown of some pretty ill-formed plans. For tonight, I'm thinking about the previously frozen wild sockeye Sprouts has for $7.77 a pound right now. I'd rather be eating fresh wild salmon, but in the depths of winter, you gotta do what you gotta do. I've had mixed results on previously frozen fish, some surprisingly good, others not so much. I have plenty of choices on Lundberg's gourmet rice blends from a prior Vitamin Cottage sale to go on the side.
Tomorrow will be another winter weekend no-brainer - with whole chickens just $1 a pound at Sprouts' big sale (good in Boulder too) celebrating Wednesday's opening of their Longmont store, we'll roast a whole chicken. Sprouts is also making it easy to roast some organic root veggies on the side, considering they have yams for $1.29 a pound, baby carrots $1.25 a bag, and russet potatoes $2.50 for a five pound bag. Organic butternut squash at 79 cents a pound will also probably find itself in the mix.
Sunday is kind of tentative. Wanting something big to also serve as a midweek reheat, and also wanting something clean and veggie-oriented after all the excesses of the holidays, I'm considering black bean chili with butternut squash and Swiss chard from Bon Appetit, a longtime favorite in this house. Sprouts' current sale is screaming for me to do this, with the aforemention organic butternut 79 cents a pound, plus 15 ounce Westbrae organic beans BOGO, and Imagine broths just $2 a box. My only hesitation is that we just finished the excellent black-eyed pea soup I mentioned a few days ago, so there might be too much of a legume-based soup theme going on here.
No time to contemplate further, though.
