This is the end of August and the beginning of September

I must say.  I think last week was a success.  I don't know about you but everything that we had from the menu was heavenly.  Ok, enough touting my own horn, here is the menu for this week.

Monday
Ribs - put on grill (look at one of the earlier post for more specific directions)
Patti LaBelle Over the Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese (this is a heart attack waiting but it is so good)

Green Beans - cook a smoked turkey wing in boiling water with crushed red pepper, garlic, and table blend; snap green beans and add them to the water, cook until soft

Tuesday
Chicken drumsticks/thighs - season how you like and throw them on the grill
Corn on the cob - put on the grill
Cauliflower - roast it in the oven with olive oil, salt, pepper, and capers

Wednesday
Chicken with roasted sweet potato salad - here is the recipe: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/chicken-roasted-sweet-potato-salad-00000000008027/index.html

Thursday
Pasta with Sausage and broccoli:  http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/pasta-with-chicken-sausage-and-broccoli-recipe-00000000020854/index.html  (I know it says chicken sausage but the pork sausage is on sale and would probably taste better.  Also, I know you might think sausage and pasta again?! But last week's was so good I thought we would try the two together again.)

Friday
Treat your significant other and take them out to eat at their favorite restaurant.  A date night if you will.

Grocery list

Kroger
Ribs $2.99lb
Boneless Chicken Breast $1.99lb
Chicken leg quarters $.59lb
Johnsonville Italian Sausage $3.99 a package

This takes care of the meat, check your pantry for the rest.  Remember when you cook the ribs on the grill you can put the chicken legs and corn on there as well.  It'll save you a night of cooking.  I hope you enjoy and let me know if you have anything you would like to see ( just post them in the comment box).  I'll also have a review post later on this week so look for that.  Remember cook simple, eat well.
