Food on the Table

It’s going to be unseasonably warm, so I’ve planned some things on the grill this week.  My favorite comfort food is green chile cheese grits, so they’ll make an appearance on the menu this week.

• Monday:  Italian Sausage Lasagna with roasted vegetables
  I’ll make this lasagna on Sunday night so I can pop it in the oven on Monday when we get home.  I bought some nice looking vegetables at the farmers market on Saturday, so I’ll roast them with a little kosher salt and EVOO.
• Tuesday:  Grillled Flank Steak with green chile cheese grits and salad
  Green chile cheese grits are a favorite in my house since I grew up in New Mexico.  I usually mix up mild and hot chiles so it’s not too hot.  They’re also good for breakfast too!
• Wednesday:  Apple Glazed Pork Chops with grilled sweet potatoes
  Every grocery store I go to has apples on sale.  It’s a great time to incorporate these into our meal plan!
• Thursday:  Steak Quesadillas with green salad
  I’ll use the flank steak from Tuesday and put it in quesadillas.  No one notices they’re eating leftovers.
• Friday:  Night Out
  Some friends got a sitter and we’re all going to our favorite sushi restaurant.
• Saturday:  Pizza Night
  We have two parties to attend on Saturday afternoon and evening.  We’ll snack on food there, but my real goal will be to manage the sugar intake.
• Sunday:  Salmon and Swiss Chard Quiche
  I can’t wait to try this quiche recipe.  It looks so healthy and delicious.  I can’t think of a more powerful health combo than salmon and Swiss chard.  Maybe I’ll throw some blueberries in there for more antioxidants…. Haha!
