Join The Farm Large Box Meal Plan - Week of 6/8/14

Some weeks I'll just keep things short & simple.  Here's the plan! 
*Don't forget to check what you have on hand from last week and use those items first!

Chamomile

Fennel

Romaine Lettuce

Ruby Lettuce

Patty Pan Summer Squash

Zucchini

Lemongrass

Tomatillo

Golden Nugget Mandarin Oranges

Strawberries

Lemons

Salad:  Ruby Lettuce, Fennel Fronds, Carrot, Green Onion, Radish, & Orange.  I will probably throw some sliced almonds in there too.  I package this up in individual servings for lunches or snacks throughout the week.  

Snacks:  Carrots, Strawberries & Oranges will be served as snacks. Check out this amazing Hummus to pair with the Carrots:  Barefoot Contessa's Hummus

Lemon Water is always a staple. Throw some mint in too if you have any left from last week.

Spinach will be gobbled up in smoothies, and perhaps even pureed and slipped into some pasta sauce for a boost of nutrition.

Chamomile Herb Tea 

Lemongrass Tea - This was so good last time we got Lemongrass I have to make this again!  Makes wonderful Iced Tea.   

Roasted Radish & Potato Salad with Black Mustard & Cumin Seed 

Summer Squash Couscous with Sultanas, Pistachios, & Mint - Can use Patty Pan, magda, and/or zucchini.  Also uses lemon & mint (last week).  If you've got enough ingredients, why not make a big batch & freeze! 

Mediterranean Garden Frittata - Use more Squash here! 

More Squash Recipes!

Lettuce Cups with Tofu and Beef - I'm using just Tofu.  Use the Romaine & Green Onion for these. 

Beet Green Pesto

Balsamic Glazed Roasted Beets

White Bean Dip with Carmelized Fennel and Toasted Garlic

Tomatillo Avocado Guacamole Dip - Perfect if you've got some Avocados from last week ripening up!
