Weekday Dinner Plans

Happy Easter on a beautiful Boulder morning.  I covered our Easter dinner a couple of posts below, and with much to do on this gorgeous day, looking at the rest of the week will be quick.

We'll want something vegetarian tomorrow after tonight's ham feast, and pasta hasn't been on deck for a while, so it will be linguine with spicy leek and tomato sauce from Bon Appetit.  Sprouts has organic on-the-vine tomatoes at $2.49 a pound through Wednesday for the sauce and the side salad (not as good as last week's fantastic $1.99, but very good nonetheless).

I previously mentioned I'm going very easy on myself this week (I seem to be burning out on cooking, and don't have enough time to devote to it either) by doing two reheats of big weekend dinners, instead of the usual one.  So Tuesday will be a reprise of last night's delicious New England seafood chowder from Bon Appetit.  It's packed with kale and one of our last hoorahs for butternut squash as we enter spring, plus the cod that's a great price at Sprouts through Wednesday.

Wednesday will be our second easy reprise of tonight's ham, along with the potato gratin experiment (see post below) that I hope will be a success.  All we'll need is a fresh veggie on the side.

Expecting to still have a tad more of that beautiful Whole Foods ham left to finish off, Thursday will be a quick ham and veggie frittata, the veggies likely including spring-inspired asparagus and baby spinach.

Which quickly gets us through to Friday's planning.  Enjoy our beautiful Boulder day today!
