I love cooking for my fiancé and planning meals for us, but cooking for two often proves to be difficult. If I don't make a plan, I end up running around in circles at the grocery store and wasting half the ingredients I've bought (and I hate wasting food). Enter What's Cooking This Week -- my meal plan and grocery guide. This way, I can make the most of my ingredients and my leftovers.
Last week, Roasted Butternut Squash was tossed in a Creamy Penne Pasta and re-used in Butternut Squash Soup. This week, a quick marinara is the base for Spinach and Ricotta Gnudi and Eggplant Rollatini.
Here's the rest of the plan:
Spinach and Ricotta Gnudi
Watercress Salad with Cranberries, Almonds, and Grilled Shrimp
Basil and Ricotta Stuffed Eggplant Rolls
Pork Chops with Balsamic Red Peppers and Baked Sweet Potato Fries
Rigatoni with Roasted Red Peppers, Almonds and Bread Crumbs
