Weekend Dinner Ideas

With little time, the next few days are motivated by simplicity of cooking and limiting the shopping to one store.  For starters, tonight will be the easy salmon burgers on sale for $7.99 a pound at Whole Foods.  Since that makes Whole Foods our store of the weekend, we'll supplement the burgers with the pre-made superfood salad that's also on sale there.

Tomorrow will be pizza night, homemade on Whole Foods' fresh dough, either from the containers I've long bought that fill an entire baking sheet, or the new prepared circular ones that would make about half that much pizza.  As for the toppings, I'll just wing it with cooked sausage, shrooms, the Rumiano mozzarella on sale at Whole Foods, and whatever else I feel like.  Over the weekend, I was organizing recipes of interest from a backlog of cooking magazines.  I'd noted several for various pizzas, but instead of saving those, I decided who really needs yet another recipe for pizza?

Sunday we really should be doing a special dinner of vintage foods to celebrate the opening of season four of Downton Abbey, which has inspired its own cookbooks.  Unfortunately not having time to do that, and looking at a big block of Seaside cheddar in the fridge from the prior Whole Foods sale, it will be a recipe I haven't made in ages, rice, corn and cheese casserole from Jane Brody's Good Food Book.  That book predates the web, but the recipe has evidently been so popular, it has been replicated all over it (just Google it).

Which quickly gets us through the weekend.
