Menu Planning for July 17, 2012

by Melissa on July 17, 2012

Our CSAs are starting to feel the effects of the extreme drought, but they have thus far been able to continue to deliver to us weekly, despite losing several crops.  I am grateful and happy to put away some of the veggies for use in the fall and winter, hopefully lowering our grocery bill that way.

Here is our plan:

Tuesday–Beans and Rice, salad and Island Guacamole

Wednesday–Slow Cooker Pesto Chicken, Caramelized Onions with Beet Greens,  Brown Rice

Thursday–Slow Cooker Roast with Carrots and Potatoes

Friday–Lamb Meatballs and Swiss Chard Soup

SaturdayHomemade Enchiladas, Island Guacamole, Salad

Sunday–Hamburgers on the Grill, French Fries, Sauteed Squash

Monday–Cabbage Stew

Desserts

Homemade Peppermint Patties (These are SO good and dairy free!)

Fudge Babies

Meals for the Freezer Using Our CSA Ingredients

Rigatoni with Swiss Chard and Bell Peppers (add the pasta when we are ready to eat it)

Pasta e Fagioli

Chicken Apple Sausage, Kale and Rice Soup

Hello, I’m stopping by from Organizing Junkie today.
CSAs seem very popular amongst MPM bloggers. We don’t have any in my area. Bummer!
You have some wonderful meals planned this week.
The humidity has arrived in Las Vegas. It has me wishing for our dry hot days.
Enjoy your week!

Sorry to hear you don’t have any. We are lucky to have many to choose from.
