It feels like it\u2019s been forever since I posted a menu plan.\u00a0 I\u2019m so glad to be back in the routine of planning menus and knowing what\u2019s for dinner every night.\u00a0 I\u2019m feeling very tempted just to make soup, macaroni and cheese, pasta casseroles, and other rich comfort foods, but I know there\u2019s a ton of cookies and party food in my future, so I\u2019m doing my best to pace myself.\u00a0 We\u2019re officially onto winter shares now, which means that pick up is every two weeks.\u00a0 While this is somewhat more convenient than the weekly main season trips to Vermont, it adds another wrinkle to my menu planning.<\/p>\n
Planning for 2 weeks at once is at least twice as hard as planning one week. It\u2019s hard to envision which new recipes will yield results and how far some of the produce will actually go.\u00a0 In addition, we\u2019re only getting a small share for the winter, so I\u2019m actually dealing with half as much stuff.\u00a0 This week it seems like I can pretty evenly spread out the options until the next pick up but if memory serves from last year, it won\u2019t be easy all time.<\/p>\n
Also, food photos don\u2019t look as good this time of year.\u00a0 One of these days, I\u2019ll get around to purchasing some lighting equipment to minimize that fact.<\/p>\n
