Make your Sunday special with grilled top round steak
SUNDAY (Family) — Get ready for GRILLED TOP ROUND STEAK WITH PARMESAN ASPARAGUS (see recipe) for family day. Serve the combo with ORZO, MIXED GREENS and CRUSTY BREAD. For dessert, a CHOCOLATE LAYER CAKE sounds good.
MONDAY (Heat and Eat) — Make a STIR-FRY from Sunday’s leftover beef: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium-high. Add a 1-pound package of any frozen stir-fry vegetables and cook according to directions. Cut the leftover beef into 1/4-inch strips and add to vegetables, along with 1/2 cup stir-fry sauce. Heat through. Serve over BROWN RICE. Add a SPINACH SALAD and SESAME BREAD STICKS. Leftover CAKE is dessert.
TUESDAY (Express) — You can have ANGEL HAIR PASTA WITH LEMON AND CHICKEN on the table in no time. Cook 1 (9-ounce) package refrigerated angel hair pasta according to directions; drain and transfer to a serving bowl. Add 1 (8- to 10-ounce) package cooked chopped chicken breast, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, 2 tablespoons chopped flatleaf parsley, 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt; toss to mix. Serve with packaged SALAD GREENS and GARLIC BREAD. Fresh PEACHES are always a welcome dessert.
WEDNESDAY (Kids) — These CHILI CHICKEN ENCHILADAS (see recipe) are just mild enough for kids. (Adults might like to top theirs with sliced jalapeno peppers.) Serve with extra TORTILLAS if desired. POPSICLES are a cool dessert.
THURSDAY (Budget) — You’ll save some time and money on dinner tonight because you’re having leftover ENCHILADAS topped with reduced-fat sour cream and sliced jalapeno peppers. Serve them with REFRIED BEANS and an AVOCADO SALAD. FRESH BLACKBERRIES are a perfect dessert.
FRIDAY (Meatless) — CURRIED EGGS AND GREEN PEAS make a savory no-meat meal. Prepare any curry sauce mix with 1% milk according to directions. Stir in frozen tiny green peas (thawed) and quartered hard-cooked eggs; heat through. Serve over WHOLE-GRAIN TOAST TRIANGLES.
Add FRESH BROCCOLI SPEARS on the side. For dessert, KIWIS will taste good.
SATURDAY (Entertain the Family) — MUSHROOM AND CHICKEN TERIYAKI (see recipe) is a special meal for family. Serve over leftover RICE. Add STEAMED FRESH SQUASH and a BAGUETTE. Buy a CHEESECAKE and top with FRESH STRAWBERRIES for a festive dessert.
