This week was another double basket, and the husband and I volunteered, so we got a bit of extra asparagus from that. We got:
4 bunches of asparagus
2 heads of leafy green lettuce
2 cauliflower
2 bunches of broccoli
10 apples
8 tangelos
4 grapefruit
4 lemons
4 mangos
10 bananas
I had a bit of food left over from last week as we didn't snack on our fresh produce as much on our trip as I expected nor did my son do much cooking while we were gone. He relied mostly on the lentil burgers I made and froze and the spaghetti sauce.
So my other produce consists of:
2 bunches of asparagus
2.5 heads of butter lettuce
3 jalapenos
celery
3 bell peppers
2 large carrots
2 sweet potatoes
4 apples
3 lemons
5 bananas
4 bulbs of garlic
5 onions
We were supposed to get onions in the co-op this week, but they were all squishy and so were not distributed. To be honest my grapefruit is also squishy. It is rare for my produce to not be perfect. I suspect that the state of the grapefruit was missed due to the fact that it was rather dark while we were trying to sort the stuff, due to a combination of day light savings time and the truck being way early.
My girl child wasn't feeling well this morning, so she and the boy stayed home, which meant that piano and breakfast with friends after produce pick up was out. But we came home and put away produce and planned our weekly menu and made breakfast as a family. It helped me with the sorting through of what was leftover since I didn't do that the night before as we were celebrating a mini anniversary last night with dinner at a Harri Krishna temple. Yummy veggie dinner BTW.
Breakfast was our usual eggs with bell pepper and onion and some toast since we were just the family. The rest of the week was planned out, but might change based on what folks end up snacking on or if it looks like something needs eating up sooner than it was originally in the menu.
Saturday - Lunch is a fend for themselves. This usually means leftovers or sandwiches and some fruit
Dinner - Veggie Curry and rice - cauliflower, bell pepper, onion, and carrots, maybe even a sweet potato
Sunday - breakfast bacon for the kids and eggs and veggies for the adults
lunch a layered salad with the kids having an option of crumbling some of the leftover bacon over their salad
dinner another layered salad making sure to have no frozen corn in this one in case we go to game night where one of the children has a corn allergy.
From here on out, I just need to plan one meal a day
Monday is girl scouts so a salad that I will pre-prep and baked asparagus that I will also pre-prep and the husband can pop in the oven when he gets home.
Tuesday the boy is cooking and it will be home made pizza and salad
Wednesday Steamed broccoli with a pasta salad
Thursday - roasted cauliflower with a fruit salad and any leftovers to suppliment
Friday -baked asparagus with the Risotto mix from Costco using the veggie broth from Trader Joe's I might make yet another salad if I am still looking at lettuce, since I have 4.5 heads of lettuce.
