Still Going Strong (CSA Menu Plan #61)

Published on August 20, 2016 By Emily. Updated on August 20, 2016

Last week was a good blend of enjoying summer and looking forwards toward September.  I stopped by school several times, mostly to drop things off, and attended more professional development.  My grade book settings have been updated and I’ve put the schedule into my online plan book.  We still have a couple weeks to go before classes are back in session, but I know a lot of schools have already gone back.  I’m really glad we still have time; I need it.  Meanwhile, Brian and I enjoyed a day visiting some South County sites that were on my summer to do list, including The Meat Market in Great Barrington.

This week is going to be full of family.  We have guests coming tomorrow for a night or two, and then again next Friday for the weekend.  I’m actually not entirely sure when people are coming and going, so I’m trying to keep my plans flexible and friendly to everyone.  Even though back to back weekends of company can be a lot, the days in between look quiet, so I’m actually looking forward to it.

It’s the third week of August, but our CSA pick ups are still going strong.  It seems like the vegetables have really hit their stride and several items – zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers and tomatoes – were 2 pounds of produce per item.  Generally, items are 1 pound each, so it was exciting to get so much food!

The Pick Up

CSA Pick Up 8.19.20

cabbage, lettuce, carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, summer squash, kale, corn, melons, tomatoes

The Plan

Burrito bowls with rice, seasoned pinto beans & (last week’s) summer squash, lettuce, tomato and cheddar

Summer Squash Pizza (Smitten Kitchen) with salad

salmon with kale chips and corn on the cob

biscuits and gravy – recipe to be determined.  Share your favorite in the comments!

cabbage, carrot and bell peppers (from the farmers’ market) with soba noodles and peanut sauce (Oh She Glows)

dinner out!

loaded salad – lettuce, carrots, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, chickpeas,etc

Other intentions:

King Arthur Flour August Bakealong: Pane Bianco

banana and/or zucchini bread

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.
