Weekday Dinner Ideas

I'm a little conflicted about my plan for tomorrow, since we aren't big meat eaters, and this week is sandwiched between our big Saint Patrick's Day corned beef and the upcoming ham for Easter, but the bone-in rib steaks at $5.99 a pound at Sprouts are calling me.  That sale, combined with organic baby broccoli $2.50 for a six ounce package and organic yams $1.25 a pound are positively screaming for me to do pan-seared steak with chive-horseradish butter with roasted sweet potatoes and broccolini from Cooking Light.

We'll make amends with something vegetarian for Tuesday, and with eight ounce balls of Mozzarella Fresca fresh mozzarella $3.99 and organic on-the-vine tomatoes $1.99 at Sprouts, that spells a tomato and fresh mozzarella risotto, especially since we haven't had rice on the menu for a while.  Think I've previously published a link for this one, but it's so easy to improvise.  Just be sure to add some fresh parsley at the end.

Wednesday will be our reheat of something big made over the weekend, which this week will be the sweet potato and sausage soup from Bon Appetit.

For Thursday, we'll catch some of those center-cut boneless pork loin chops that are on sale at Sprouts through Wednesday for $2.99 a pound to do a simple saute of pork chops, including garlic (of course!), and a little wine to deglaze the pan.  Rice, potatoes, whatever on the side.
