We'll not really, since I've hardly had time to flesh them out, but maybe the focus on sales might be helpful. And I'll throw in Labor Day, since we're thankfully facing a long weekend.
Tonight, I'm planning on checking out the fresh tilapia fillets Sprouts has for just $3.99 a pound. If from the USA, that can supposedly be quite eco-friendly. I've used a recipe from that was published years ago in Bon Appetit from Passionfish, a fave restaurant in Pacific Grove, CA, but without time to go fishing for the link, the basic idea is sauté tilapia in a bit of olive oil, drizzle with balsamic vinegar, and serve. Who needs more?
We'll hit the grill tomorrow for some fresh wild king salmon, and King Soopers wins that one this week at $11.99 a pound with card. Sprouts is a runner-up at $14.99 a pound.
For Sunday, we'll turn to a seasonal chowder, again enjoying corn and green chile chowder from the Food Network. Whole Foods has roasted fresh Hatch green chiles plus a weekend special on corn at half price, but I still might head out to Munson's Farm for the corn, fresh picked that day.
Since Monday's Labor Day, obviously something's got to go out on the grill. And since we've already been fairly reasonable for the weekend, with fish twice, followed by a nearly vegetarian chowder. we'll hit the steaks. I'm thinking one of two steaks the new Lucky's in Longmont is offering, both grass-fed Teton Waters Ranch ones, the sirloin steak at $4.99 a pound, or the New York strip at $5.99 a pound. The NY strip will undoubtedly win out, as I more often use sirloin as something more to cut up for stir-fries, although it is also decent on its own.
So, happy long weekend!
