Menu - Week of February 2, 2009

This is the last time I let my husband buy the food for Superbowl Sunday.  He got pork ribs instead of beef and chicken tenders instead of chicken wings.  :(   It was fun though and I guess that is what's important.

This week, as usual, is pretty full.  Here is our menu:

• Monday - Pollo en Salsa; Rice; Mexican Squash
  
• Tuesday - Pescado a la Veracruzana; Rice; Steamed Veggies
  
• Wednesday - Spinach Lasagne; Steamed Veggies
  
• Thursday - Kindergarten Choir Concert at school
  
• Friday - Sushi
  
• Saturday - Sister in town; dinner with friends
  
• Sunday - Beef Ribs, baked potatoes, grilled zuchinni
  

Pollo en Salsa

-------------------

Place one can of tomato sauce, 1/4 onion, 1 garlic clove in blender.  Blend until smooth.   On a heavy skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.  Pan fry 4 chicken breasts.  Add tomato mixture.  1/2 cup water and 1 tablespoon Knorr Suiza chicken bouillon.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender.

Mexican Squash
