Belated (CSA Menu Plan #127)

Surprising no one, this post is somewhat belated. I’m definitely missing the days when our CSA pick ups were on Friday afternoons. Tuesday afternoons don’t lend themselves to punctual menu plan posts. (If I could get organized, I’d write the post on weekends and just add the photo on Tuesday, but reality never seems to work that way.)

Regardless, it’s been a pretty good week, food-wise. A Wednesday evening power outage caused by a crazy storm that ripped through western Massachusetts resulted in take out pizza, which meant we opted to skip our usual Friday night pizza. Generally, however, the slow cooker Monday, Brian makes tacos Thursday, pizza Friday template seems to be working well for everyone involved. Even in a week like this, when I choose to go off-course some, its nice to have an overall structure.

I also received my birthday present from my sister last week – a copy of Mark Bittman’s Dinner for Everyone. It was on my wish list because I’ve enjoyed every Mark Bittman book I’ve used (I now own 4), but now that I have it I am so excited to put it to good use. The book is full of iconic, traditional, standard recipes that I feel like I should have experience with making. Each dish idea has an easy version (perfect for weeknight meals!), a vegan version and a “perfect for company” fancy version. The cooler weather has reignited my interest in cooking and I plan to try a few of these recipes each month.

The Pick Up

pears, kale, romanesco, lettuce mix, delicata, yellow cauliflower, broccoli

The Plan

spaghetti squash and black bean tacos with queso fresco (The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook)

Slow Cooker: Who Needs Meat Slow Cooker Chili with cornbread (Basics with Babish)

Chicken Agrodolce with spaghetti (from Dinner for Everyone by Mark Bittman)

take out pizza – due to a power outage

Sheet pan roast sausage, romanesco and potatoes

hamburgers and roasted potatoes

spaghetti puttanesca with roasted delicata squash

But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
