On the Importance Of CSA Menu Plans (CSA Menu Plan #14)

There are times when I consider not posting menu plans anymore.  They’re not particularly popular posts.  They don’t get many comments or much feedback and honestly, they’re sort of a pain to write.  Sometimes, I think to myself, I have better things to do with my weekends.

Last weekend, I didn’t post a menu plan.  This was partially due to the fact that I didn’t feel like it (see above) and partially due to the fact that I gave this site a lovely makeover.  But then Brian and I had the pleasure of having this conversation 7 times:

“What’s for dinner tonight?”

“I don’t know, what do you feel like?”

We ate dinner, of course, but I don’t remember half the things we had.  And, when I went to put this week’s vegetables in the refrigerator, I discovered that we still had half of last week’s CSA pick up left.  Awesome.  So this week I’m getting back to that planning thing.  And it’s okay if no one reads it, because I know that I’ll be a lot healthier and less stressed and less wasteful as a result.  It’s a little bit of a short week for me because of some plans I have next weekend, but I’m making up for it by adding lunches to the plan.  Because the only thing worse than the randomness we ate for dinner this past week was the scrambling Brian had to do to make us lunch for work.

This week’s pick up: spaghetti squash, cauliflower, red potatoes, kale, broccoli, sweet potatoes, peppers, shallots, carrots, beets, Brussels sprouts

Leftovers from last week: delicata squash, onions, acorn squash, Romanesco cauliflower, lettuce, spinach

The plan:

In the interest of improving these menu posts, please let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to include in future menu plans.
