This week our CSA box came loaded with broccoli, French breakfast radishes (oolala--fancy), carrots, lettuce, kale, and kohlrabi. With the exception of the radishes, we got these same vegetables last week. That's fine--it just means I have to be more creative so it doesn't feel like we're eating the same thing over and over. This is what I've come up with:
Menu
Tuesday/Wednesday: Teriyaki vegetable and tofurky sandwiches
Thursday/Friday: Broccoli Lasagna
Saturday/Sunday: Kale and Feta Pizza
Monday: Hummus, pita bread, whatever raw vegetables we have left
Every day: Salad of lettuce, carrots, radishes, and kohlrabi
Dessert of the week: 25 cent ice cream on Saturday!

Scenes from my kitchen last week
Chocolate chip pecan cookies
I baked three dozen for a get together with friends. Then I froze the extra dough--enough for two dozen more cookies!
Eggs ready to be made into cake
I made a yellow cake with chocolate icing for my sister's graduation party. It didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped, but enough icing will cover nearly all flaws, right? The cake baked up tall and pale yellow. I frosted it with an old-fashioned chocolate buttercream. We cut thick slices that reminded me so much of the bazaar scene in Pollyanna. Every time I watched that movie I wanted to eat that cake, and now I have. Next time I'll have to snap some photos.

What's on your menu this week?
Yum! It all looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm...ice cream! I didn't make it to this event last year, but I'll pencil it in for this Saturday! There's one in Clarksville, so I won't have to drive very far :D
ReplyDeleteFrench radishes -- I never heard of them. I'm growing radishes in my garden, but they're really puny still. Now I want chocolate chip cookies.

I'm trying to develop a tolerance for radishes... I bought some seeds (first step) but never planted them!
