Nothing Wrong with Favorites (CSA Menu Plan #42)

Published on October 18, 2015 By Emily. Updated on October 18, 2015

Some weeks, I work hard to bring new recipes to my kitchen and, in turn, to you.  But this week, I’m in the mood to revisit some old favorites.  Yes, I’m still trying to make the most of those cookbooks I mentioned last week, but the goal of my menu plans has always been to use up the bounty from our CSA.  Sometimes the best way to do that is to use the other things I have on hand and enjoy some recipes I already know are good.  There are only 2 new recipes in this weeks plan: celery soup and Roasted Beans, Greens and Squash Rings.  I’m hoping that making familiar food will allow me to channel my energies into other things: preparing for a 5k next month, brainstorming for NaNoWriMo and putting in 100% at work.

The Pick Up

CSA pick up 10.16.15

Bok choy, daikon radish, collards, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, sweet potatoes, onion, tomatoes, fingerling potatoes, spaghetti squash, carrots

I also have a huge bunch of celery given to me by a friend of mine in exchange for a jar of my pickles at the Pittsfield Farmers Market yesterday.  Otherwise, the swap was a total bust, but at least I got some celery out of it.

The Plan

Spaghetti Squash and Black Bean Tacos with Queso Fresco (The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook) + roasted Brussels sprouts Vegan Crispy Stir-Fried Tofu with Broccoli (Serious Eats) + brown rice Bok choy, pepper (leftover from a previous week) and daikon radish stir fry over soba noodles Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with White Beans and Collard Greens (The Kitchn) Homemade pizza topped with mozzarella cheese and fresh tomatoes Jane Grigson’s Celery Soup (Food52) + biscuits Roasted Beans, Greens and Squash Rings (The Meat Lover’s Meatless Cookbook) – I didn’t get the chance to make this last week

Lunch: “Who Needs Meat?” Slow Cooker Chili + cornbread

    Very good blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any tips? Kudos!

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.
