Family SUNDAY
Buy a SMOKED TURKEY BREAST for an easy family meal. Accompany the flavorful bird with WARM DIJONNAISE POTATO SALAD (see recipe), which received a gold star at our house for its good taste. Alongside, add GRILLED ASPARAGUS and MULTIGRAIN ROLLS. For dessert, buy a CARROT CAKE.
PLAN AHEAD: Save enough turkey and cake and prepare enough potato salad for Monday.

Meatless WEDNESDAY
Any burger is a good burger to me, so tonight we'll opt for VEGGIE BURGERS on WHOLE-WHEAT BUNS. Top with your favorites such as LETTUCE, TOMATO, PICKLES, ONIONS, MUSTARD and low-fat MAYONNAISE. Serve with CORN-ON-THE-COB. FRESH STRAWBERRIES make a great dessert.

Express THURSDAY
Make it quick tonight with CRAB CAKES (frozen) for dinner. Top them with CILANTRO TARTAR SAUCE. Mix 1/2 cup reduced-fat or regular tartar sauce with 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 1 tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice; spread on the crab cakes. Serve with deli COLESLAW, HASH-BROWNED POTATOES (frozen) and MULTIGRAIN BREAD. Try PLUMS and OATMEAL COOKIES for dessert.

Kids' FRIDAY
The kids can make their own GRILLED HAM AND CHEDDAR ON RAISIN BREAD. Coat the outside of the bread with cooking spray and grill until golden and cheese melts. Serve with BABY CARROTS.
Make a PEANUT BUTTER AND BANANA SMOOTHIE to go alongside. For one serving: Blend 1 cup cold 1 percent milk, 1 cut-up frozen ripe banana and 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter in a blender until smooth.

Entertaining SATURDAY
SALMON AND BEET SALAD (see recipe) is both pretty and delicious, which makes it great for guests. Serve with NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER and CRACKERS to start the meal. Finish with ANGEL FOOD CAKE topped with LEMON CURD for dessert.
