It's that time again, weekend dinner plans needing to be made. Today's one-day sale on shrimp at Whole Foods (see the post below for details) has me thinking that tonight will be smoky shrimp and grits from Food and Wine magazine. In addition to the sale shrimp, Whole Foods has wonderful grits/polenta available in the bulk aisles to get just the amount you need, plus I love the addition of spinach to the dish (also available in bulk in the produce department).
For tomorrow, with grilling weather upon us (winds permitting) and boneless, skinless chicken breasts $1.99 a pound at Sprouts (also 40% off at Sunflower, but I don't know what price that translates to), we'll hope to head outdoors to try a recipe from local fave Elena's Pantry, her mustard lime chicken, which sounds tangy enough to satisfy even a flavor hound like me. She also offers it in a baked version, should the Boulder winds kick up too much.
For Sunday, we'll still need to make something big that will also serve as a midweek reheat, and with spring veggies just around the corner, I'm thinking of one more winter repast, potato and root vegetable chowder with bacon from Bon Appetit. Sprouts has organic leaf lettuce for just 99 cents a head, although Sunflower has the same for $1.50, plus organic hothouse tomatoes at the same price for the side salad.
Which will quickly get us through to Sunday's planning for the rest of the week.
