Chef Ana's Perspective ## Chef's Notes For this week's menu, I recommend serving Shrimp Pesto Fettuccine early, while the basil garnish and shrimp are at their best. Italian Beef Osso Buco Stew with Vegetables is the dish I would reserve for a later meal because it reheats in its sauce. Refrigerate both promptly and use refrigerated cooked meals within three to four days, freezing any portions intended for later. **Read the full notes** I would reheat Rosemary Garlic Potato Stacks uncovered at 350°F for 12–18 minutes, checking that the center is hot. For Mild Blackened Chicken Breasts with Fresh Pico de Gallo, I recommend a covered dish at 325°F for 15–20 minutes, with the cooking juices, until the chicken is heated through. Keep the fresh pico out of the oven and spoon it over the chicken after heating. I paired Pomegranate Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Hazelnuts with Lemon Basil Braised Yellow Squash, Corn & Butter Beans to give the cooked sides different textures. The sprouts have browned edges, with pomegranate seeds and chopped hazelnuts scattered over them. The squash dish brings soft yellow slices, corn kernels and butter beans, so I would alternate the two sides across meals instead of serving both every time.
