Farmers Market Delivery (Off-Season Menu #6)

Published on April 27, 2020 By Emily. Updated on April 27, 2020

Though I couldn’t manage to get a menu posted last week, I’m feeling generally more positive about the dinner situation in our house. Maybe it’s just a matter of settling in, but I have menu ideas sketched out for the next several weeks and am overall happy with the level of provisions in our pantry. Plus, I joined BJ’s last week and they had flour!

Another thing that’s helped a bit is delivery from our local farmers’ markets. Both the Pittsfield Farmers Market and the North Adams Farmers Market are taking online orders and delivering them, which is incredible. I’ve ordered from each once and just having a little bit of in-season greenery makes meals, and my mood, just a bit brighter. In just over a month, we’ll be back to CSA shares and that will also make a big difference.

The Plan

Last Week

Stir Fry Beef Noodles (Budget Bytes)

Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric (NY Times/Alison Roman) using farmers’ market spinach

pork tenderloin (with the shawarma rub from this recipe from The Lazy Genius) and salad

stir fry with old CSA cabbage and daikon radish, frozen peas and carrots, with the sauce from the Stir Fry Beef Noodles recipe. Served over rice.

potato and rutabaga soup, based on this old recipe

pizza with ramp pesto (Bon Appetit)

This Week

baked chicken strips (this Wholefully recipe without the coconut) with rice, and salad/frozen peas

tarascan soup, which I will be updating the pictures for so soon

pasta with kale pesto (Bon Appetit)

baked ham with roasted red potatoes and frozen vegetables

leftover ham, potatoes and vegetables

Whole Wheat-Oat Waffles (Bon Appetit) and bacon

pizza – toppings TBD

black bean tacos

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

One of my favorite things to do is bake from scrat One of my favorite things to do is bake from scratch.
But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.

I can't remember the last time I baked bread, some I can't remember the last time I baked bread, something that was part of my routine for a long time. Today school was cancelled due to the extremely cold temperatures outside and I took the opportunity to make 8 loaves - most of which will be put into the freezer until they're needed. Baking more bread was part of my 2022 theme of "resume" and I'm so happy to be back to it.
Recipe, as usual, from @breadin5
