Check out last week’s dinner planner to see some easy ideas for Mother’s Day brunch or breakfast!  Or make the simple French Strawberry Cake I just posted.  Couldn’t be easier and everyone loves it.  Last year my kids made me the Apple-Blackberry Breakfast Crisp from “Kitchen Matters” and a savory Dutch Baby.  Make something for the mom in your life! Here’s your dinner planner for the week:

Meatless Monday: Eggplant meatballs on roasted spaghetti squash (see this recipe for how to roast spaghetti squash)

Tuesday: Quicker Chicken Marbella p. 212 with white bean puree with garlic and sage p. 189 from Quicker than Quick, sauteed spinach

Wednesday: stir-fried soba noodles with tofu, sesame roasted cauliflower with nori

Thursday: Greek sheet pan chicken, sauteed spinach or roasted broccoli

Friday: smoky braised lentils with (or without) turkey sausage, roasted green beans with shallots and lemon

Saturday brunch: 7 layer salad with blue cheese dressing (this is such a fun entertaining salad, but even if you don’t do a layered salad, the dressing is fabulous!!)

Sunday: slow roasted Copper River Salmon (if you see this salmon, splurge!  It’s only in season for a very short time and it’s amazing!), grilled asparagus, and sweet and spicy sweet potatoes 

 

Here’s what you can do ahead if it helps you:

Sunday:

Make eggplant meatball mixture

Roast spaghetti squash

Cook white beans if making from scratch

Break cauliflower into florets

Wednesday:

Marinate chicken

Cut onions and potatoes (store potatoes in water to prevent oxidation)

Thursday:

Trim green beans

Friday:

Make blue cheese dressing
