A quick sketch. Looking for convenience today, we'll probably turned to that standby, salmon burgers from Whole Foods with buttermilk mashed potatoes on the side. The BOGO housemade pizzas at Alfalfa's mentioned yesterday are also tempting, but they might work better as lunch than dinner over the weekend.
Tomorrow, in a nod towards newly arrived spring, we'll try out a new recipe from Cooking Light, penne with herbs, tomatoes, and peas, although it will be months before I'll be clipping from my own herbs. Sprouts has organic grape tomatoes (interchangeable with cherry to me) for $2.50 a pint this week, and I might also throw in some of Sprouts' conventional asparagus for $1.48 a pound ($2.99 for organic at Alfalfa's through the weekend, a great price for organic) just to add more of that springlike feel, although temps will dip way back down after yesterday's near 70 that ushered spring in.
We'll round out the weekend on Sunday with slow-cooked Tuscan pork with white beans, also from Cooking Light. Both Sprouts and Lucky's Market (at least the one in Longmont - don't know about Boulder) have boneless pork loin roasts on sale for $2.99 a pound, and I prefer a leaner cut to the shoulder one in the recipe, especially since the beans sit stewing in it all day.
Which quickly gets us through the weekend.
