Family SUNDAY
For the Super Bowl crowd, make RED AND WHITE CHILI (see recipe). Serve it with SAMOSAS (such as Sukhi's or another brand). The frozen turnovers come in a variety of flavors and are great for appetizers. All you do is bake them. Alongside, add STUFFED CELERY and BABY CARROTS to munch on. Serve with CORNBREAD (from a mix). For an easy dessert, BLUEBERRIES and sliced POUNDCAKE are just the perfect pair.

|
Kids' MONDAY
Use the leftover chili and make CHILI TACOS for the kids. Heat taco shells and spoon hot leftover chili into them. Garnish them with shredded 50 percent reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Add leftover CELERY and CARROTS for some crunch. Stir leftover blueberries into instant VANILLA PUDDING for dessert. |
|
Budget TUESDAY
Not only does this SWEET AND SPICY TOMATO AND PEPPER CHICKEN STEW (see recipe) save money, it has great flavor. Serve it over BASMATI RICE. Add ROMAINE and FLATBREAD. Keep dessert light and enjoy PEARS.
|
|
Heat and Eat WEDNESDAY
The leftover STEW will be even better since the flavors have had a chance to blend. Serve it with MIXED GREENS and WHOLE-GRAIN ROLLS. For dessert, try PEACHES. |
|
Express THURSDAY
This PASTA PUTTANESCA will be on the table in no time. Toss 8 ounces any cooked pasta with 1 (6-ounce) can drained and flaked tuna in oil, 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce and 1/4 cup chopped black olives. Serve with packaged GREENS and ITALIAN BREAD. Make fresh PINEAPPLE CHUNKS your dessert. |
|
Meatless FRIDAY
Make your no-meat meal special and serve GNOCCHI WITH SAUTEED SWISS CHARD. Cook 1 pound gnocchi according to directions. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium. Add 1 small thinly sliced onion, and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until tender. Add 4 cloves thinly sliced garlic, stirring 1 to 2 minutes or until golden. Add 1 bunch Swiss chard (tough stems discarded and leaves cut into 1-inch strips), 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook 3 to 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, or until tender. Toss gnocchi with chard mixture; sprinkle with freshly grated parmesan. (Adapted from Woman's Day magazine.) Serve with MIXED GREENS. Enjoy PLUMS for dessert. |
|
Entertaining SATURDAY
HALIBUT WITH SPINACH, ORANGES AND OLIVES (see recipe) makes a favorite meal for guests. Serve with COUSCOUS, SUGAR SNAP PEAS and SOURDOUGH BREAD. For dessert, fat-free CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM with STRAWBERRY SAUCE makes a festive dessert. |
