In light of the Summertime Pantry Challenge, we will be doing a large part of our eating from the stockpiles of our pantry, refrigerator, and freezer as well as fresh produce from our garden and the local farmer's market.We went to the farmer's market on Friday where we bought carrots, Ginger Gold apples, Swiss chard, and a half dozen ear of corn. I made some yummy cinnamon applesauce for Cora with the apples, and Kate and I ate two ear of the corn for lunch. We also have quite a bit of squash, lettuce, peppers, and cucumbers in our own garden that we'll be eating on.
Here's what we plan to eat this week:
Sunday: Comfort meatballs (from the freezer) on brown rice and Swiss chard with fresh corn & balsamic vinegar
Monday (4th of July): Smoked baby back ribs; potato salad; roasted corn; cucumber, tomato, & onion salad; and mixed berry trifle
Tuesday: Chicken Souvlaki Gyro Style with Tzatziki (cucumber sauce) and pita bread
Wednesday: White beans & kale (from the freezer) with cornbread
Thursday: Steak fajitas (grilled steak from the freezer) with refried beans, fresh salsa, and corn tortillas
Friday: Pizza Night!
Saturday: Hamburgers, sweet potato fries, and salad
What's on your menu next week?
