Re: Weeks worth of menus?
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person taking advantage of this thread... Some of these dishes are great and I can't wait to get cooking!!! I've now started trying to match up the ads with what I might want to make so I can get great sale prices. A couple of weeks ago I got everything I needed (minus the wine which I already had) for under $10 and fed 4 ppl!!!!!

Re: Weeks worth of menus?
Short week for us - I usually cook 4 nights a week (I don't cook Fri & Sats because we go out, and am usually out one night a week - so that is usually standby burgers for DH) This is the menu this week:
1. Baked breaded pork chops, mushroom risotto, and peas
2. Burgers, fries, baked beans
3. Shrimp & Scallop Fra Diavolo over linguini with a salad
4. Pulled pork sandwiches, knishes

Re: Weeks worth of menus?
So I haven't gotten out of bed for a day DH was nice enough to bring my laptop and plug it in for me so I can chat on here. I woke up with absolutely no voice today and feel terrible.
Anyway, I was just lookiing this thread over and am definitely going to look up some recipes for dishes that I want to make when I'm up and about again. Anyone else have any recipes?

Anyway, I was just lookiing this thread over and am definitely going to look up some recipes for dishes that I want to make when I'm up and about again. Anyone else have any recipes?
Here's one of my favorite "stand-by" recipes for Paremsan Crusted Pork Chops (from Giada De Laurentis)
2 large eggs
1 cup dried Italian-style bread crumbs
3/4 cups freshly grated Parmesan
4 (1/2 to 3/4-inch thick) center-cut pork loin chops (each about 10 to 12 ounces)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 tablespoons olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving
Whisk the eggs in a pie plate to blend. Place the bread crumbs in another pie plate. Place the cheese in a third pie plate. Sprinkle the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. Coat the chops completely with the cheese, patting to adhere. Dip the chops into the eggs, then coat completely with the bread crumbs, patting to adhere.
Heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a very large skillet over medium heat. Add pork chops, in batches if necessary, and cook until golden brown and the center reaches 150 degrees, about 6 minutes per side. **I then bake the pork chops in the oven at 350 for about 25 minutes to finish them.**
