This is the 28th edition of the weekly 30-minute menus. These are published on a weekly basis; I like to develop the weekly menus on Friday, grocery shop on Saturday, and start the week's menus on Sunday.
School is starting for many of us so the meals this week are quick and easy - so you can put your energies into getting your children settled in school. The menus are also easy on the budget which is a great help this time of year!
I am serving Shrimp Scampi on Saturday night just for the fun of it! This ever-so-simple meal is great for busy weekends especially if you have invited dinner guests to your house.
You will find that I use several cooking methods, mix and match, to get dinner on the table quickly! (The ingredients in parenthesis show some of my quick-prep steps.) You can always substitute your favorite made-from-scratch recipes when you have more time.
I hope you have a great week!
