Quick Use Up The CSA, More Is Coming or Menu Monday 30

Heather says

For years I’ve wanted to join Pinckney’s Produce, our local CSA. This year the stars aligned and there was a pick up point close enough to my weekly route that I could make it work. Oh happy day, right? Well, life is life and I’ve been out of town* pretty much since the CSA shares started happening. Pick up #3 happens tomorrow and there is almost half a box of produce in the fridge.

The good news? Food doesn’t really go to waste arond here with six people.

My gut says that this week’s produce will be similar, with maybe less lettuce and more bok choy. This menu is subject to change based on life.

Monday – Blackened Pork Bibb Lettuce Wraps**, Collard Greens, Roasted Cauliflower Mash and strawberry smoothies for dessert
Tuesday – Chicken Stir-Fry and Fried Rice
Wednesday – Grilled Vegetable Foil Packets, Grilled Italian Sausage, Cheese Grits
Thursday – Salad Night – Grilled Chicken or  Flank Steak (depending on how the price is at the grocery store)
Friday – Shrimp Quesadillas / Tacos, Guacamole, Pico De Gallo
Saturday – C.O.R.N.
Sunday – Pulled Pork – vegetables to be determined by what’s left

CORN – Clean Out Refrigerator Night


**riffing on this with different spices, no Thai Peanut Sauce tonight

Next week, I head to Denver, but after that things will be back to *ahem* normal.

What are you planning this week? Here’s a free menu printable to help make that chore a little easier and if you have no clue where to start with menu planning, I have help for that, too.

*It was a wonderful trip, I got to go two work events / conferences, one in Salt Lake City and the other in Phoenix. Rather than fly home on a red eye and right back out, I rented a car and meandered down via Zion National Park and Flagstaff. I took some scenic driving tours, met relatives for the first time, had a glorious solo picnic in a hotel room and just generally enjoyed a little bit of down time.  If you like Instagram, here’s my stream.

 This country really is beautiful and I am so glad I had a chance to explore a corner of it.
