Since the Chinese vegetables in the supermarket looked so good yesterday, a steamed chicken dinner is planned.

One of the days will be rainy, so a good hearty soup is also planned. Verna mentioned Jambalaya!

Saturday: Jambalaya over a scoop of rice.

Sunday: Chinese-style steamed chicken and veggies with saffron rice.

Discussed Chicken Parmesan using skim milk and egg whites in the coating. On the side, egg noodles and something green like broccoli, Brussels sprouts or braised cabbage.

We also decided that chili would be a good thing for the Sunday meal.

Saturday: Chicken Romano served on pasta primavera topped with Verna’s famous Marinara Sauce! Damn! this was good!

Sunday: Homemade Chili and Cornbread (no photo available).

Verna saw a braised pork recipe on the Food Channel, and I thought something southwestern would be good.

Saturday: Braised pork loin chops with stew vegetables.
