July 21 - 28, 2012

S - Sauteed Beets and leftovers.  We already cut off the tops of the beets, so I may throw in some other greens with the beets.
M - Pesto pizza.  When we do homemade pizza we use Mamma Mary's crust.  This one will have pesto sauce, tomatoes, greens, and fresh mozzarella.  Ivy may want something else so chicken nugget pizza may be making a comeback.  Good thing the crusts come in two packs!
T - Grilled chicken, potatoes, and green beans.  I'll coat the potatoes and green beans with olive oil and a bunch of spices, put them in a foil packet, and send them out to the grill with Dave.
W - Frozen Pizza
Th - Suddenly Salad (or leftovers)
F - Frittata friday!  I need to get some more flavor and spice into the frittata this time.  The last ones have tasted a bit healthy.
Sa - I leave for BCCE, so it is up to Dave to feed he and Ivy for a week.  I may plan a few meals for them after I see the CSA produce list, but they usually don't get followed.

On the side I got smoothie pouches made today to streamline the smoothie process.  I did some without the frozen yogurt since I still have some non-frozen yogurt around.

I'll also be making more pesto.  I froze the stuff I had purchased from Sam's club, and will likely freeze some of what I'm making.

July 15 - 21, 2012

Su - Fairy Garden Party!!  Wrap with guacamole, some leftover beef, baby red kale, and kohlrabi.  Dessert is whoopie pies (family secret recipe). :)
M - Pesto on pasta with some chicken, and fruit on greens with balsamic vinaigrette.  I need to make a lot of pesto.  I'll use the recipe as a guideline and mix in a variety of greens, nuts, and cheeses.  If it sucks I'll just add a shot of our favorite flavor saver.  This can save a batch of hummus that I didn't measure everything correctly, so it should work for pesto. :)
T - Ham Salad on greens.
W - Frozen Pizza
Th - Foil packet roasted potatoes and pesto fish (on the grill instead of crock pot this time).
F - Leftovers.
Sa - Stirfry with whatever is still in the fridge.

July 8 - 14, 2012

We have a lot of greens from the CSA so everything will be served on greens or with a side salad.

Su - Tomato & Corn Salad with Marjoram
M - Suddenly Salad with Ham and caprese salad bites
T - Ranch Turkey Wraps and Smores Bars
W - Frozen Pizza
Th - Leftovers and salad
F - Pasta with Peas using baby red kale as the green (or whatever we have)
Sa - Leftovers

A favorite breakfast that is great with our homegrown raspberries is crepes.  This recipe you mix them up in the blender and it works in my little smoothie blender.

July 2 - 7, 2012

M - Brats, Pineapple, and Kale Chips sprinkled with Brady Street Cheese Sprinkle.
T - Stir Fry using Boc Choy on rice
W - Stuffed chicken breast from Hy-Vee, garden salad, and smores bars
Th - Frittata using up CSA veggies
F - Hummus and salad
Sa - Chicken Enchilada Pasta - double batch to feed the babysitters!  I'm going to add crumbled tortilla chips this time around right before serving.

Happy 4th of July!
