TAKE TWO (CSA Menu Plan #15)

Published on November 1, 2014 By Emily. Updated on November 1, 2014

CSA pick up 10.31.14

It was just 2 weeks ago that I wrote a post in which I said that I was getting back to menu planning, because it keeps me sane.  But then last week went by without a menu plan because I was gone for all of last weekend.  So I was doubly reminded of the importance of having a menu plan, and the volume of leftover CSA produce that results from not having a plan to use it.  I really need to get back in the habit of making sure menu planning is a serious priority.  Besides, if I don’t cook, what will I post?

The pick up: (shown above)

Brussels sprouts, carrots, cauliflower, arugula, butternut squash, kale, broccoli, sweet potatoes, onions

The Plan:

Sunday

Monday

Tuesday

Wednesday

Thursday

Friday

Cauliflower Pizza Crust (The Lucky Penny), topped with arugula, cheese and tomato sauce

odds and ends…

there are major scheduling complications

Savory Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with White Beans and Kale (The Kitchn)

Creamy Cauliflower Mac (Mark Bittman in the NY Times) + roasted beets

Butternut Squash Baked Risotto (Serious Eats) leftover risotto

This week was the last pick up of our summer CSA share.  We, of course, signed up for the winter share as well.  Pick ups start next week and are every other week through March.  My plan, starting next week, is to post 2 week menus every 2 weeks.  We’ll see what actually happens :)

    […] Last week was a pretty darn successful week in the Relishments kitchen.  I was really pleased with how the Creamy Cauliflower Mac came out; it was super creamy, despite how little cheese was actually in it.  I doubled the recipe (using a head and a half of cauliflower), which gave us dinner and two days of lunches.  I was also pleasantly surprised with my first attempt at cauliflower pizza crust.  […]

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.
