Weekly Menu Planner for September 21, Healthy Gourmet Cooking for Two, from Thyme for Cooking.

There are a few zucchini and yellow squash (they're both called courgette here) growing in the garden but that season is coming to an end and the winter squash are starting to ripen. We're still doing a bit of grilling but more often, on these cooler nights the cooking is moving indoors.
We'll be eating summer/late-summer garden produce as long as we can stretch the season - winter will be long, as usual!
For stuffing vegetables you can use all ground beef, pork, turkey or sausage or mix them. Since you will probably have to buy larger quantities and freeze the unused portion, this is easy: mix and freeze in appropriate quantities.
BTW: In case you are wondering why we split the white wine between two nights but open 2 bottles of red...It's so we have the red wine to finish on Sunday!

Friday:         Baked Tomatoes Stuffed with Sausage
Sautéed Shrimp in Garlic Butter
Lemon Garlic Basmati
Sautéed Courgette (Zucchini) and Spinach

This weekend we're have a dry Barsac, Château Doisy Daene, with our starters. With the sole we're having a lighter, local red from the Fiefs Vendéen
