Sharing (CSA Menu Plan #21)

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

What a different a couple weeks makes.  This week’s menu came together relatively easily.  Granted, we somehow didn’t get to some of the dishes on my last menu (for what reasons, I can’t remember), so I just pushed those meals ahead a week.  Last week was pretty crazy here, with lots of stuff going on at both my jobs, but I think things are going to be significantly less crazy for the remainder of January.  Of course, my grad school semester starts this week, so we’ll see.  

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about community and strengthening real life connections with other people.  It appears I’m not the only one, as we had friends for dessert here Friday, enjoyed Saturday dinner hosted by another family from church and are enjoying Taco Tuesday with yet another group of friends.  I’m really looking forward to it.  Eating together is so important, and yet it’s so easy to not make the effort.  “Effort” being a relative term; I really do not have an excuse for not opening my home more often.  There’s also talk about hosting game nights a regular thing around here.  We’ll see!

The Pick Up:

CSA pick up 1.17.15

spinach, potatoes (4 lbs – 2 items), butternut squash, garlic, beets, carrots
Not too exciting looking, but really useful.

We just signed up for our 2015-16 CSA share this week as well.  Despite a small winter sharing being just a little too small when we’re home for 2 full weeks, we renewed our current commitment of a medium (10 items weekly) main season + a small (10 items, biweekly) winter share.  Local friends, check it out: Mighty Food Farm

The Plan:

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Saturday

General Tso’s Tofu(Domestic Superhero) + cabbage and rice – new to me! dinner out – we’ll be trying a new (to us)  Berkshire restaurant! Taco Tuesday with friends Indian-Spiced Winter Squash Soup (Peas and Thank You) Eggs and potato hash  (always a perfect meal) Avocado Caesar Salad (What’s Gaby Cooking) Spinach calzones
Roasted Butternut Squash with Caramelized Onions, Gorgonzola and Crispy Fried Sage + tbd grain Leftover squash + grains New England Clam Chowder (Healthy Delicious) Green Grilled Cheese (Seriously Delish ) Spinach and cheddar frittata + baked potatoes Chili…though I’m not sure what kind.  Brian wants me to try something new.  Suggestions? Leftover chili

One more programming note:  Instead of writing 2 sentence reviews of the best dish I made from the previous menu in each of these posts, I’m going to do a monthly post that just talks about the best new recipes I tried over the course of the prior month.  Stay tuned and let me know what you think!

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!

I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in La I made my first ever trip to @seconddropfarm in Lanesborough this morning to pick blueberries with my daughter. We had a lovely time at the farm, and especially enjoyed the short walk to the lush blueberry bushes, and the beautiful flower and lavender fields. We didn't participate in pick-your-own flowers today, but it's definitely on my radar for the future.
We are looking forward to some muffin baking soon! 🫐
