menu week of Sept 6

This is the week that I start back with the kids in the first grade classroom.  Not sure how much energy I'll have for cooking- notice that Tuesday's dinner is takeout sushi from Whole Foods.  DH and I like that sushi but here's a question for you all- what do you serve with it??  (DH does not like edamame and I'm not fond of their version of seaweed salad.)

The Green Garlic Goddess Pizza is my absolute favorite pizza-  it's a bit of work to make all the parts but it is worth it.  I do have a quick version for when time is short. 

The bean burgers on Sunday are from the lastest issue of Eating Well.  They have an article about Steve Sando and Rancho Gordo beans.  I love RG beans- they have some tasty fun heirlooms like Yellow Indian Woman, Anasazi, Appaloosa..  We'll see how the bean burgers turn out- they are coated with cornmeal to add some crunch.

I found Wednesday's pasta recipe in a free magazine, Edible Chesapeake, at Whole Foods.  The combination of fresh tomatoes (with a touch of red pepper), chickpeas, and swiss chard sounded yummy.  I was saving this for when DH is out of town but decided that I may be ready to cook something fun and new (but quick).

Black Beans and Rice is just simply my favorite dinner- loved it since I was a child.  I found a great recipe in my Columbia Restaurant cookbook or I may just use canned beans this week!

If you are interested in any recipes that don't include links, please let me know!
