This week's menu

This week I am going to try a couple new recipes from my iPad app, Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. I plan to review the app later this week, but for now, if you haven't heard of Mark Bittman then you probably have been out of country a while, or at least removed from popular media. Anyway, here's this week's menu:

Monday: Leftovers

Tuesday: Stir-fried chicken with cabbage (from the app), rice, side salad. Because colored bell peppers are on sale this week and the recipe suggested them as a potential substitute item, I will be adding a chopped one to this.

Wednesday: Fried Rice. I'll post the recipe later, but we had some ham in the freezer that was needing to be eaten, so this recipe should be just the ticket. It's filling, but if you need a little extra food you could do a side salad with some Japanese sesame dressing, some frozen egg rolls or potstickers, or a bowl of miso soup (super quick with a mix) to fill it out.

Thursday: Taco Salad. Salad mix is on sale this week so we will be eating lots of the green leafies.

Friday: Beans and Greens (also from the iPad app). I plan to add the remainder of the ham from the freezer to this. If you are into the Meatless Monday thing, this would be a likely candidate (minus the ham, of course). Organic greens are on sale as well this week, which is unusual for my local supermarkets.
