Some sort of grilled veggie salad-ee thing like this with bruchetta
 Zucchini soup and good bread

July 14- 20 Menu

This week we received a bountiful basket and an italian pack so we have- kale, beet greens, radishes, corn, tomatoes, cauliflower, yellow squash, zucchini, eggplant, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and lots of fresh herbs. For fruit bananas, plums, blueberries, and peaches. Also I have a goal this week to eat more legumes, so you'll see lots of beans and lentils in the mix. Here's the plan-

tacos with roasted corn, pinto beans, and zucchini-radish slaw a la this recipe
kidney bean curry and indian spiced cauliflower- I'm not using the potatoes in this recipe
fajitas with all the peppers left over from our last family reunion
sauteed snow peas, beans and greens soup, and corn on the cob
Veggie Kabobs over a fire and corn on the cob
Alice Water's Ratatouille!
We're going to be roasting a whole chicken next weekend which is a big affair for us. I'm planning on using the roasting method made famous by Zuni Cafe.  This also means we will be freezing meat and using the carcass to make a large pot of chicken stock.

March 3-9

We're on a mission! To eat the same quality food that we have been eating for only $200 a month! Here is my plan and grocery list. Today we received bell and Anaheim peppers, broccoli, brussel sprouts, living lettuce, tiny yellow pootatoes, and cucumbers and lots of fun fruit including a pineapple and a case of mangoes.

Oatmeal and other hot cereals

Lunchs

Dinner
fajitas- peppers, onions, corn tortillas, beans, salsa, lettuce
caramelized brussel sprouts or this salad with a multi-grain pilaf- like this one but with different grains and carrot, celery, and onion

A soup- one from this site (she makes lovely soups) with a loaf of this bread. Trading out the caraway for roasted sunflower seeds and pepitas.
