Follow-up on the soy-glazed salmon from Martha Stewart (recipe link above): It was good, but not incredible. My husband thought it was a tad too sweet. My daughter and I liked it.

The Aldi salmon was good, but not great. The 4 pieces in the lb were all different sizes meaning I couldn't cook them the same amount of time. They had good taste, but not incredible. They were worth $3.99/lb though.

chuck roast makes a good pot roast if it is trimmed well ; cut into stew beef ;ground into ground chuck or sliced into chuck steaks (like the ones at the grocery store) . My daddy cooks the best ones you ever tasted - someone once asked him if it was a new york strip ! Don't over season it before grilling - NO salt - it will make it tough; do not over cook ( aim for rare to medium - it will be perfect). Also good to cut into strips for fajitas and such .

Haven't done the whole week, but we will be having chicken spaghetti and tuna pasta salad not sure about the other nights. Probably serve corn and green beans a couple of nights and absolutely carrots if the granddaughter has her way.

Ms. Gooch, I'd love to know what store Martha was shopping in. I grew up around there. And the contributer of Faye's salmon recipe on Martha's site is only a few towns over from where we lived in California. Small world!

kat, I think the closest thing to steak you'll be able to get with a chuck roast is a swiss steak. You could make it in the slow cooker. Brown the meat first to get the most flavor out of it. Of course, it could also be turned into stew, pot roast, ground beef, soup, etc. Just not a grilled steak, unfortunately! :(

This week's menu so far:

1. Roasted pork loin, roasted sweet potatoes, salad (use it or loose it). 2. Stuffed shells from the freezer (made a few weeks ago) with sauce - canned tomatoes, garlic, and the leftover pork loin. Chop up the pork, then run it through the food processor. The method is a little weird, but it's really good. We'll have this twice. 3. Corn chowder with bacon, broccoli, yellow potatoes, and biscuits.

The rest to be determined...

PS: FL carries a really good frozen mini cheese ravioli by Italian Village, usually well under $3 for 24 oz. They are a coupon friendly company, too. ;)

Don't you just love that stuff, ncbeachbound?!

msgooch - what a funny story about Martha! Does your mom work at a high end grocer? Curious what type of grocery store Martha shops at.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your menus this week! They look great! I always see so many dishes I want to try.
