Get in some greens with broccoli rabe and white beans
SUNDAY (Family) — Take it easy and prepare or buy a SMOKED TURKEY BREAST for family day. Alongside, BROCCOLI RABE WITH WHITE BEANS (see recipe) is delicious. Add WHOLEGRAIN ROLLS.
No one will resist PEACH CRUMBLE for dessert. Heat oven to
350 degrees. Combine 12 (about 3 pounds) fresh peeled and sliced peaches and 1/4 cup sugar; spoon into a 3-quart baking dish coated with cooking spray. Combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg and 3 tablespoons butter in a medium bowl. With 2 knives, work butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse bread crumbs; spread over peaches. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden.
MONDAY (Heat and Eat) — Use the leftover turkey and add sliced tomatoes for GRILLED TURKEY, TOMATO AND SWISS CHEESE SANDWICHES. Use reduced-fat cheese and sliced whole-grain bread spread with Dijon mustard. Coat outside of bread with cooking spray and grill in a nonstick skillet until golden and cheese melts. Serve with deli POTATO SALAD. Warm the leftover PEACH CRUMBLE for dessert.
TUESDAY (Express) — Make dinner quick tonight and serve a fully cooked smoked HAM STEAK. Rub
Cajun seasoning blend on both sides before heating, if desired. Serve with baked SWEET POTATOES and deli BROCCOLI SALAD. Make CORNBREAD from a mix. A slice of HONEYDEW MELON is dessert.
WEDNESDAY (Kids) — Every kid likes Mom’s favorite PIZZA, whether she makes it or buys it. Add a CHOPPED LETTUCE SALAD and VANILLA ICE CREAM for dessert.
THURSDAY (Meatless) — We enjoyed these BELLA BURGERS for a meatless dinner. Heat grill and coat 4 large portobello mushrooms, 1 large red bell pepper (cut into quarters) and 1 red onion (sliced) on both sides with cooking spray. Grill the vegetables on both sides about 4 to 6 minutes total or until lightly charred and tender. Meanwhile, whisk together 2 tablespoons Italian dressing and 2 tablespoons lowfat mayonnaise. Spread whole-grain hamburger buns with dressing mixture and layer with lettuce, tomato, mushroom, pepper and onion.
Add DEVILED EGGS to the plate, along with STEAK FRIES (from frozen). NECTARINES are dessert.
FRIDAY (Budget) — PASTA SOUP (see recipe) is a delicious low-cost entree. Serve the soup with a crisp LETTUCE WEDGE and CRUSTY BREAD. For dessert, FRESH PLUMS are in season.
SATURDAY (Family Entertaining) — The family likes your LAMB CHOPS best. Serve them with CREAMED CORNSTUFFED TOMATOES (see recipe). Add MIXED GREENS and SOURDOUGH ROLLS. For dessert, a wedge of chilled CANTALOUPE with leftover ICE CREAM is refreshing.
