Well the next two weeks are going to be tight for me financially, so it's likely going to be about getting really creative with what's in the freezer and the pantry. (Luckily I learned from my father to stock up on sale items, so we won't starve. ;) ). Here's what the week looks like so far:

Sunday:
Halibut fillet poached in lemon juice
Roasted Bell Pepper Salad (CL 8/02)

Monday:
Grilled Chicken-Mango Sausages
Hash-Brown Potaotes with Onions & Peppers

Tuesday:
Spinach Salad w/ Shrimp & Avocado w/ Creamy Galric Dressing (EW Summer 02)

Wednesday:
Dinner Out - Celebrating milestone at work

Thursday:
Veggie Pizza (with whatever's left in the veggie drawer)

Friday: (My aunt and uncle are visiting from AZ and likely joining us for dinner)
Chicken with Rosemary Sauce (CL 04/02)
Wild Mushroom Risotto (CL 09/01)
Blueberry Peach Galette (CL 09/01)

Saturday:
Grilled Beef (DBF's choice, out of whatever he can find in the freezer)
Grilled summer squash & portobello mushrooms
Garlic Lover's Pasta (CL 03/99)

See... toldja I wouldn't starve. :)

Dolores - that has got to be the best looking "on-a-budget" menu I've ever seen!

I'm also on a budget, since DH was laid off, we're trying to keep all costs down. I found some black beans (dried) in the cupboard, and some arborio rice, so I was looking to use those. So here's mine:

Saturday:
Murgh Masala - BB, honeygirl
Garbanzoz Masala - BB, Kima
Naan - BB, Browneye
Raita - Bb, Cherylopal
Rice

These were all great. DH said I should cook Indian food all the time. He loves it!

Sunday - leftovers

Monday:
Mexican Black Bean Chili - BB, Jen (from WW originally, I think)
cornbread - CL 5 Star

Tuesday - leftovers

Wednesday:
Risotto with Chorizo, Chipotles and Black Beans (but I'll use spicy turkey sausage instead of chorizo) - BB, Aggie94
Salad

Thursday - leftovers
Friday - leftovers

Saturday - homemade pizza

Thanks Dewey,

Fortunately, my freezer's full at this point, or I'd be in real trouble (especially trying to entertain). Dinner out on Wednesday is (fortunately) a part of someone else's budget... so I figure I'll spend about $20 tomorrow on veggies to get me through the week. Everything else is out of the freezer/pantry.

Good luck to your DH on the job hunt... my DBF's been out of work for a while now, so I know how very stressful that can be.

WOW! This is a very appealing week, menu-wise! I hope to find time to go back and look for some of the BB recipes you all have posted. They sound great. Val, I'm printing out the Chick pea recipe now; this would make a great lunch for me; DH will not TOUCH a chickpea! but I have all the ingredients already, so it looks like a definite for me.

But I digress... here's my menu:

Sun: Swordfish Kebobs (Legal Seafoods Cookbook)
Antipasto Salad (Bon App. - August) on arugula - THIS WAS YUMMY!
Sourdough bread (purchased)

Mon: Leftovers

Tues: Asian Turkey/Lettuce Wraps (Bon App. - Aug.)
Some concoction of beans and rice

Wed: Leftovers

Thurs: Pasta, Turkey meatballs from freezer, Salad

Fri: Grocery shop again...

Moving week! So cooking is at a minimum this week, though we're determined to keep eating well to maximize our energy for the move. :)

I have already done the cooking for the week, or at least up until the move. So far I've thought of or made the following: Tri-colour veggie rice fusilli with tomato-herb sauce and veggie meatballs; garlic-lime potatoes; lots of fruits and fruit-yogurt parfaits; salads, etc. I'm thinking we might have veggie omelettes for dinner tonight to finish up some eggs. :) Nothing wrong with breakfast for dinner!

Valchemist - that recipe looks great!! Thank you! Just one question, do you plan to do it as a main meal? It sort of sounds like it should go on top of something like orzo or wild rice or pasta? It could just be the carb queen in me talking :o

JeAnne

valchemist
08-19-2002, 06:52 AM
hmmm...

never thought about serving it over rice/pasta. that does sound like a good idea, though.

actually, I was just going to serve alone as a main meal, with a green salad beforehand. I might reconsider, now that I think of it.

val

editing here...now that I look at the recipe, it does suggest serving it as a side or over salad greens. (or alone) didn't notice that at first.

I admire those of you that are able to plan an entire week of menus. My in-laws are coming, so I'm planning a few of my favorites:

Roasted Tomato-and Red Pepper Soup, CL 11/2000, page 12. To be served with cold cuts for lunch.

Greek-Style Burgers with Feta Aioli, CL 5/2000, page 130. A friend brought these over for lunch one day, and the flavor is just great.
To be served with fresh corn.

Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo, CL 3/2000, page 101. A favorite, and easy to prepare.

For baking, I'm going to make either the Orange Tea Cake, 5/2001, page 190, or the Almond Cake, 12/00 page 122. And, of course, the Oatmeal Cookies, 11/99, page 200.

On Saturday, I'm going to a outdoor neighborhood BBQ. I want to make a easy bring-along, probably a summer salad, so I'm going through the indexes to see what's appealing.

DH is out of town this week, so won't be cooking as much.

Tonight (Monday)-Psycho chicken (Gail-BB), salad and roasted garlic potatoes (barefoot contessa)

Tuesday -Going to mom's for scrapbooking with friends taking Tuna salad


Wednesday- Chicken, Penne and Green bean salad (CL 08/02), fresh corn on the cob, fruit and chicken for DD.

Thursday- Stuffed Cabbage (maybe) or eat from freezer.

Friday-DH will be back for company picnic, taking curried couscous (barefoot contessa) and brownies (family recipe-very fattening)

Saturday-We have 3 parties to go to, one is kid's b'day party in afternoon, then a couple hours at the Gymnastics open house (for DD), then DH and I are going to a Bat Mitzvah, so no cooking

Sunday-??

That is it so far.

Lisa

PS Yorkshirepud, can you post the citrus chicken tangine with Couscous? Also, do you cook it in a tangine or is there another way (I don't have tangine)? TIA

I love these threads! It is my ritual to sit down on Sunday morning with the sale circulars and make up our menu for the week, then I "unveil" it for DH on our little blackboard that is above the phone in the kitchen. Anyhow, this is what's on tap in our household this week:

(BTW - Happy Anniversary Jen, enjoy Italy!!!!)

Monday - Penne with Chicken, Shitake mushrooms and capers (Val, I'll let you know how it is since it is on your menu, too. Didn't the picture in BA look yummy?)

Tuesday - Ginger/soy/lime marinated London broil (the grill is fixed, yea!), rosemary roasted red potatoes, grilled green beans, and mushroom/onion sautee to dress the steak.

Wednesday - Margarita grilled tilapia (rather than grouper); Aunt Jo's Puerto Rican rice & beans; grilled zucchini & cherry tomatoes

Thursday - Going to the UNLIMITED SUNSHINE TOUR concert - I love Cake!!! Both the sweet/carbohydrate version, and the musical version. Packing sandwiches, chips and beer (I should take some CAKE, too, heh, heh) to consume picnic style in the parking lot of the Mann Music Center.

Friday - Fish tacos w/avacado & tomato salsa; leftover rice & beans.

For jenstern - I highly recommend the spicy sausage, rosemary and bean soup that Val posted on the thread that you posted asking for sausage suggestions. It is absolutely delicious and extremely simple to prepare.

08-19-2002, 12:44 PM
Okay, I don't have the whole menu planned out, but bits and pieces. See if YOU can spot the trend....;)

Sunday - Margarita Grouper Fillets from CL 8/02, sliced tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, mixed grains.

Monday - Tomato-Basil Tart, CL 8/02. Served with a salad.

Tuesday - out to dinner for girls night out!

Wednesday - Tomato-Basil Soup, CL 7/00. Served with fresh corn on the cob and some kind of bread or sandwiches???

Thursday - Leftovers????

Friday - Homemade Pizza. One with fresh tomato slices, fresh mozzarella, sliced garlic cloves (or maybe roasted garlic if I remember!) and fresh basil. The other with homemade marinara, TJ's chicken sausage and mozzarella and fontina cheeses.

Saturday - Out to dinner with DH. Ahhhh...

Sunday - BLTs???

Okay, now two guesses as to what is currently plentiful in my garden??? :D :D

Would you mind posting the Basil Shrimp with Feta and Orzo recipe? I ran a search and it didn't turn up. It sounds great and I have feta and orzo unspoken for!!!..If it is too much trouble...don't worry about it.

Woheee! My first post in the planning section and I have left my list at home. I have been trying this planning 2 weeks at a time thing for the last month and I LOVE IT!!! It works so well for us.

Sunday - Whole marinated chicken with tons o' garlic.

Wednesday - Tomato-Balsalmic Chicken found on epicurious

Thursday - Meatball subs (Have to through in oldies but goodies for the boy and we have spaghetti sauce to use up.)

Friday - Pork Tenderloin with zucchini and onions CL Superfast suppers. This is so good we have to do it again.

Yeah! Emilycat is back!

Emily - have you tried the linguine with cauliflower, garlic, raisins & pinenuts before? Just asking 'cause I wanted to ask you for the recipe (sounds yummy!!), but I didn't want you to go through the trouble of typing it in if it hasn't received the em-cat "seal of approval" yet...

emilycat
08-19-2002, 07:15 PM
What a nice welcome! (I may have to order a stamp so I can actually imprint this "seal of approval" on said recipes. :D
Holly, yes, I love, love this dish. I have tried so many different pasta and cauliflower recipes because I love them so much, but this is my favorite. The authentic southern Italian version includes anchovies, which I'm not especially fond of, so I certainly don't miss them here. :)
Just a note -- I usually double the amount of vegetables in his sauces to make them more satisfying main dishes, but I still keep the amount of olive oil the same (or cut it down a bit). Also, if you like whole wheat pasta, I think it goes nicely with this dish.

BTW, I made the squid dish tonight, and it was really delicious, so if any of you calamari lovers are interested, I would be happy to post.

From Jack Bishop's Pasta e Verdura

Sauteed Cauliflower with Garlic, Raisins and Pine Nuts

Serves 4
Best pasta choice: linguine or other long, thin shape

1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 1/2 pounds)
2 T. pine nuts
6 T. olive oil
4 medium cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup raisins
1 t. salt
1/4 t. freshly ground black pepper
2 T. minced fresh parsley leaves
1 pound pasta

1. Bring 4 quarts of salted water to a boil in a large pot for cooking the pasta.

2. Bring several quarts of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Trim and discard the leaves from the cauliflower. Remove the core and stalks and break the cauliflower into small florets. Slice the florets into small, bite-sized pieces. There should be about 5 cups of florets. Add the cauliflower to the boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside the cauliflower.

3. Set a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast, shaking the pan occasionally to turn the nuts, until golden (about 5 mintues). Do not let them burn. Set aside.

4. Heat the oil in the empty pan. Add the garlic and saute over medium heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook for a minute or two, turning often, until well coated with the oil.

5. Add the toasted pine nuts, raisins, salt and pepper to the pan. Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust the seasonings if necessary.

6. While preparing the sauce, cook and drain the pasta, making sure that some liquid still clings to the noodles. Toss the hot pasta with the cauliflower sauce. Mix well and transfer portions to warm pasta bowls. Serve immediately.

I haven't made it yet but it got good reviews on the site.

I had an absolutely terrible time planning menus for this week! Just seemed to be lacking creative inspiration. After nagging my DD for ideas she suggested picking up one of my Annual CL Cookbooks and just opening it to a page and making whatever recipe jumped out out me. SO that's what I did. The funny thing is, I kept opening to Greek recipes, so it is going to be Greek week in my house!:p

Monday - Greek Chicken with Capers,and Raisins in Feta Sauce (CL Annual 2000)
Steamed Rice
Sauteed Summer Squash

Tuesday - Greek Chicken Salad (CL Annual 2000)
Stuffed Zucchini(CL Annual 2000)

Wednesday - Company from out of town!
Mediterranean Grilled Chicken (August '02)
Roasted Red Potatoes
Glazed Julienne Carrots (Complete CL)
Fruit and Honey Spinach Salad (Complete CL)
Peanut Butter-Banana Ice Cream (August '02)

Thursday - Moussaka (CL Annual 2000)
Marinated Tomato and Smoked Mozzarella Salad (CL Annual 2000)

Friday -Thai-Style Grilled Lamb with Raspberry-Mango Relish (Wine Lover's Cookbook)
Turmeric Infused Couscous
A great bottle of Pinot Noir to match the main course!!!

Thanks, Emilycat -

I'm off to New Orleans tomorrow for a short vacation (SO has a conference down there next week - we're taking the opportunity to spend some time there beforehand... and we have some friends that live there). The recipe looks wonderful - I also have an Italian version (with anchovies) - that I happen to really like! This looks different and really quite yummy. Since SO is staying in New Orleans next week (and he hates cauliflower), next week (maybe Sunday???) will be the perfect time to try it out. I'll let you know when I do.

And - by the way - if I haven't mentioned it before: all Emilycat tried and true Moosewood recipes have an "E" by them in my cookbooks. :D

Stick around! I've missed your posts!!
