Week of July 7, 2012

This week is going to be a week of simple meals.  The hubby has a lot of work commitments so I'm on my own for dinner this week.  Cooking for one person can be really tough and it's really easy to get lazy and just stop somewhere for dinner.  When I have to plan meals just for me I try to keep it super simple so that I don't cheat.  I hate wasting food so if I know that something quick is waiting in the fridge I'll stick to my plan. 

Monday:  Caesar salad with grilled shrimp
Tuesday:  Grilled chicken and asparagus
Wednesday:  Grilled ham steak with corn
Thursday:  Sushi

Thursday night will be the first night this week that the hubby will be available for dinner and sushi is one of our favorites!  Later this week I'll show you all of my techniques for a nice sushi dinner.

Impressed?

Well don't be!  My techniques for great sushi include driving to our favorite sushi restaurant and enjoying sushi made by someone else.  I consider myself a good cook but rolling sushi is a whole different playing field!

Grocery List
Produce
  • Lettuce (a full head or bagged lettuce)
  • 1lb asparagus
Meats
  • 1lb shrimp, peeled & deveined
  • 1lb chicken (your favorite pieces of chicken are fine)
  • Ham steak
 Dairy
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese
Miscellaneous
  • Caesar salad dressing (choose an oil & vinegar based dressing)
  • Croutons
  • Canned or frozen corn (corn on the cob would be fine as well)
Happy Cooking!
Jenny
