Menu for Oct 16-22

 In our basket this week was cauliflower, avocado, carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, tomatoes, two heads of lettuce. We also have a couple of beautiful eggplants from the Schwieders, and some zucchini left over. Here's the plan this week:

This broccoli salad again. yum!
Eggplant and zucchini Parmesan I'll be cutting down the cheese and using homemade pasta sauce.
Kidney Bean Curry and brown basmati rice
Ratatouille's Ratatouille- like from the movie
Major amounts of salad- Caesar salad, salad with fruit and nuts, taco salad, etc.
Roasted Cauliflower soup and this little bread
carottes râpées, or grated carrot salad
Hummus with bread feel free to switch out the ingredients on the hummus to your liking, after all it's only middle-eastern beans dip. Other versions here and here
And I still need to try this cucumber salad recipe

Menu for October 9-14

This week little yellow potatoes, lots of carrots, bell peppers, broccoli, corn, lettuce, tomatoes from my parents garden and fennel from ours. We are making:

This beautiful broccoli salad
Japanese Curry
A carrot soup- maybe this smooth one or this chunky one
And lots of roasted things- like these carrots or these potatoes.
This broathy soup- I'm switching out the yuba skins for rice noodles.
Fajitas with this salsa

This carrot cake for dessert some night or maybe these carrot cookies. And a deep dish pear pie using this crumble crust recipe. I triple this zucchini bread recipe and freeze it. Also we just found the first of the cranberries at Winco so it's time to pick at the BYU-I apple orchard and make my favorite jam.

Menu for September 26- October 1

Sorry I'm really late this week. The internet at our apartment is out, so I haven't been able to post. This week we got sweet potatoes, red and green bell peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and onions. And lots and lots of stone fruit. We also have produce from our parents garden and we have beets and zucchini from ours. Here's how we're eating it.

Roasted tomato soup with a wedge salad similar to this
Borscht we don't use meat in ours, but other than that it's pretty similar and bread
Fajitas I just saute onions, peppers, and zucchini with a little garlic, oregano, cumin and salt and homemade refried beans see post here
Risotto I don't use saffron and add zucchini and bell pepper at the end  or stuff it in the peppers like this and a small fruit salad
Baked sweet potatoes and an adaptation of this cucumber salad
