A Week At A Time – Meal ideas

Happy Sunday! Discover A Week at a Time Meal Ideas that make cooking for family and friends easy, relaxed, and delicious all week long.

Let’s kick off this week with Cinco de Mayo on Monday with some fabulous Rajas Tacos that are fresh, flavorful, and vegetarian. If you haven’t had a Rajas taco — they are loaded with roasted Poblano chilies, corn and just the right spices for a delicious combination in a tortilla. Since we enjoyed tacos yesterday, Tuesday is Sheet Pan Pesto Sausage Pizza night. Super simple to put together, especially if you use store-bought dough.

Wednesday is a simple, yet fabulous meal idea — Chicken Paillard with Zucchini and Mushrooms. I like to serve it family-style on a large platter and put it right on the table. On Thursday, a big hardy salad like this Lobster Cobb makes a marvelous meal. Lobster can be a little pricey, depending upon where you live, so you can substitute jumbo shrimp, but lobster sure tastes great with the thyme vinaigrette.

Friday night needs a little something to go with a good glass of bubbly or a cocktail and these Lemon Ricotta Crostini with Asparagus and Pancetta are a cinch to put together. Saturday’s are for baking Blueberry Corn Muffins for a great start to a nice day. Cornmeal adds texture to a blueberry muffin batter and make these muffins much more interesting. Have a tasty week and don’t forget your mom on Mother’s Day!
