for London Broil recipes and http://www.recipezaar.com/Barefoot-Contessas-Cauliflower-Gratin-208626 for the Barefoot Contessa's recipe for Cauliflower Gratin. I would use regular cheese instead of Gruyere if it were me.
6-Try Chicken Squares at http://www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1839,146187-227194,00.html You hopefully have a can of cream of chicken soup in the pantry.

Polynesian Chicken Salad (Stacey C.)
2 C. cooked chicken breast, diced
1/4 C. pineapple chunks, drained
halved green grapes (red ones are the ones on sale this week)
small can of drained mandarin oranges
1/2 C. celery, diced
1/4 C. slivered almonds
4 green onions, sliced
1/2 C. low-fat vanilla yogurt (can substitute plain non-fat yogurt)
1/4 C. regular mayonnaise (can substitute fat-free mayo)
Combine chicken, pineapple, celery, almonds, and onion; set aside. Blend together yogurt and mayonnaise; stir into chicken mixture. Serve on bed of lettuce.
NOTE: I did not put almonds on the shopping list, you may want to do that. I was trying to keep costs down. Also, you may want to double this recipe since it is for a main dish. Or just double the chicken, celery, pineapple amounts.
Broccoli Salad
2-3 bunches broccoli, cut into florets
4-6 slices of bacon, fried and crumbled
1/2 C. of grated cheddar
Dressing:
1 C. Miracle Whip salad dressing
1/2 C. white or cider vinegar
4 Tablespoons sugar
Wash the broccoli and trim into florets. Make the dressing and add the other ingredients, gently toss.
