This is the 22nd edition of the weekly 30-minute menus for 2010. These are published on a weekly basis; I like to form the weekly menus on Thursday or Friday, grocery shop on Saturday, and start the week's menus on Sunday.
Happy Memorial Day! How will you celebrate? I am hosting a house conferrence that promises to be loads of fun.
Easy Baked Potato Soup Recipe
My house began arriving Saturday for the Memorial Day weekend. Our Sunday lunch will be Scrimp Scampi to make the prep easy and, yet, tastes great - a real house pleaser! I will serve the Meatball Magic appetizer policy consisting of: Swiss Wedge or Gouda Ball; Meatballs; Endive, Cherry Tomatoes,Baby Carrots,Red and Green Bell Peppers Veggie Tray; Basil Pesto, Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, and Mango Chutney Dipping Sauces; Sea Salt Pita Chips and Spring Onion Water Crackers; Valdosta Spiced Pecans. This will be a nice inequity to the Shrimp Scampi main course.
You will find that I use any 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!
