It’s April 19th! Another great week of dining lies ahead. It’s time to plan ahead and create your grocery orders.
Special Note: Be sure to freeze the 16 oz. package of ultra-firm tofu when you unpack the groceries today. You’ll need to thaw it in the morning to make Marinated, Grilled Tofu.
Let’s get the jump on grilling season tonight. Beyond Meat patties are served open-face-style smothered with rich tasting browned mushroom sauce. I call them “Fancy Pants” Burgers because they aren’t your normal backyard burger! Each burger is finished with Gorgonzola (or blue cheese) crumbles and chopped tomato. A nice green salad and fresh fruit finish the meal.
Set a couple of frozen Beyond Meat Patties in the fridge to thaw this AM.
Make some Hoisin Sauce tonight, unless you have some already made. To the delight of your diners, you’ll drizzle a piece of baked halibut with this lovely sauce. The halibut is then served over quinoa and the plate is completed with a generous portion of a tropical arugula salad with slivered mango and fennel.
Omelets! They’re wonderfully quick to the table and so nutritious. This folded egg delicacy is often considered to be of French origin. However, many cultures (Persians, Japanese and Romans) have used eggs in a similar way over the centuries. Regardless of who claims credit for creating the omelet, I declare it delicious!
While asparagus is still in season, try this version of asparagus soup. Here’s a creamy soup that’s easy to make. It’s finished with just a touch of nutmeg.
A nice green salad and a warm artisan roll finish the meal.
Pay a visit to your favorite “bistro” tonight and enjoy a succulent plate of Mediterranean Greens. The bistro is located in your kitchen, and on this night you’ll become your best version of a Greek chef.
The sautéed greens rest over a creamy Mediterranean white sauce and are served with wholesome quinoa and a generous dollop of traditional hummus. It’s all garnished with a dusting of crumbled feta cheese. You’ll want to savor every flavor-loaded mouthful of this offering. Kompliménta ston sef! (Compliments to the chef!)
