Menu for January 9-13

After being without a bountiful basket for some time now we finally recieved one and an italian pack! Hurray! We have lettuce, spinach, radishes, tomatoes, avacados, broccoli, zucchini, cucumber, eggplant, mushrooms, and onions. Here is this week's plan.

twice baked potatoes with pesto (From Sarah Raven's In Season, pg 309) and a salad
Stuffed eggplant with maranara (from Deborah Madison, 369) over pasta, with a salad
Chole Palak
stir fried noodles
quesadilla with guacamole

Also making sweet potato muffins/bread for breakfast.

Menu for September 11-16

In this weeks basket we got sweet potatoes, spinach, green beans, lettuce, cauliflower. We also got an extra fruit basket so we have a ton of fruit which is excellent since Todd has been wanting to avoid sugar lately, and fruit can help avoid the sweet craving. Here is my plan for the week:

Aloo Gobi (Indian Spiced Cauliflower and Potatoes) and Chole Palak (Indian Chickpeas With Spinach) and basmati rice -definitely a Sunday meal, this one requires quite a bit of time and specialty ingredients if your not already set up for Indian cooking.
Russet and sweet potato fries and a large salad- Hey, We're in college, french fries still can count as a meal :)
Egg and veggie fried rice and green bean stir fry
Cacio e pepe (simple pasta)- sometimes I add garlic and salt to taste and this Sauteed zucchini and salad
Butternut squash soup -you can substitute bacon for the pancetta, or just leave it out and bread and salad

Also I have a ton of leftover cabbage from the huge head we got last week for gyoza. With it I'll be making Okonomiyaki (Japanese pizza) for breakfast or lunch, and this salad while I'm doing the Japanese thing.

Enjoy!
