What"s For Dinner? 30-Minute Menus For 2010 - 3rd Edition
This is the 3rd edition of the weekly 30-minute menus for 1020.
These are published on a weekly basis; I like to develop the weekly menus on Thursday or Friday, grocery shop on Saturday, and start the week's menus on Sunday.
Wow! It has been cold here in Atlanta; we are having record-breaking cold weather.
Some of us have cabin fever.
To chase away the cold-weather blues, I am having a Party Saturday night.
It will be a vegetarian Spaghetti Fest but you can add meat to your sauce if you prefer.
For the appetizer course I will stick to the Italian theme with: Parmesan Wedge and Tuscan Olive Cheese Ball; Prosciutto Figs, Apricots, Melon, and Asparagus Spears; Red Pepper & Romano Bruschetta Topping and Artichoke Pesto; Asiago Cheese Crackers and Baguette Crisps; Feta Stuffed Gourmet Olives You will find that I use several cooking methods, mix and match, to get dinner on the table quickly! (The ingredients in parenthesis show some of my quick-prep steps.
) You can always substitute your favorite made-from-scratch recipes when you have more time.
I hope you have a great week!
