great post to read What's For Dinner? 30-Minute Menus for 2010 - 49th Edition
This is the 49th edition of the weekly 30-minute menus for 2010. These are published on a weekly basis; I like to fabricate the weekly menus on Thursday or Friday, grocery shop on Saturday, and start the week's menus on Sunday.
What's For Dinner? 30-Minute Menus for 2010 - 49th Edition
Merry Christmas! The week has ultimately arrived and with great gusto here in Atlanta. It is very cold with a few, scattered snow flurries - indubitably putting the feel of Christmas in the air! No matter what your plans are, the menus this week will have you enjoying the season rather than 'bah humbugging' over what to serve for dinner.
The Christmas Eve menu of a Sausage Roll is a house tradition for us. The Sausage Roll can be made earlier in the day to be ready when you are whether after a mid-night mass or house gathering.
For Christmas Day, I am serving a grand Garlic and Rosemary Rubbed Prime Rib with Mushroom Sauce and Mashed Potatoes. My house will be joining me so I will serve an appetizer course consisting of: a Brie Round and Mild Cheddar Wedge with Pomegranate Cranberry Chutney; Pate; Endive, Asparagus Spears, Bell Peppers, and Melon with Artichoke Pesto; Whole Wheat Mini Toasts and uncomplicated Water Crackers; Kalamata epicurean Olives This appetizer course will be an awesome start to our fine Christmas Dinner.
You will find that I use several cooking methods, mix and match, to get supper on the table quickly! (The ingredients in parenthesis show some of my quick-prep steps.) You can always substitute your beloved made-from-scratch recipes when you have more time.
I hope you have a great week!
