Fresh ideas for the week

Love waking up a little early and having some quiet time drinking my Sunday coffee, sitting on the deck and skimming through some magazines.  Lately I've been caught in a recipe slump, but found some new things to try this week in the May issue of Fitness and Real Simple.  I showed the pictures of the meals to the kids and received some thumbs up, so hopefully they will like the new flavors!

This week at a glance is not too time consuming...fairly simple prep work and recipes.  If any of the recipes seem interesting to you and you want to give them a try, please contact me and I'll pass them along.

Monday:  Shrimp with radicchio, roasted potatoes and snap peas (substituting shrimp for scallops because of cost).  Grilling shrimp, and the greens mix is easy to put together.

Tuesday: Crustless herb Quiche.  This looks great and has bacon in it, so everyone will be happy!

Wednesday:  Grilled pork tenderloin with mashed cauliflower and potatoes.  I haven't made pork in a long time and it's so easy to do on the grill.  Love using fresh rosemary with pork.

Thursday: Grilled chicken Caesar salad.

Friday: Steak and Tzatziki sandwiches with fresh veggies on the side.  This is an easy Friday meal and will be great for every one's different schedules!

Saturday:  Carb loading dinner before the big Memorial Day soccer tournament!  Pasta with sauteed veggies and leftover grilled chicken from Thursday.

Sunday:  Roasted Salmon with green beans and apricot and pistachio salad.

Hope these come in handy when you're planning your weekly meals.  I know it takes some time and organization, but I realy think it's helpful when shopping to know what the week looks like.  It definitely saves me some time and money at the market.  Please be in touch if you'd like a recipe!
Enjoy your week.
