Menu Plan Monday, 7/28 - 8/3
July 27th, 2008
My favorite new recipe this past week was the Spinach Burritos with Salsa Verde — delicious and I will make them again! We also made some Plastic Bag Ice Cream, which was yummy, but the novelty was lost on my boys. All in all it was a good week, and it was easy to work through our CSA share.
This week I have fresh strawberries to use up, so I’m thinking of making a batch of Berry-Smash Muffins, adding shredded coconut to the batter. I’m also going to try my hand at making refrigerator pickles with four cucumber I have kicking around.
Monday: Mini swiss chard & gruyère quiches (made in muffin tins), leftover corn on the cob or bagels
Tuesday: Crock pot roasted chicken, Green Beans and Cherry Tomatoes (I sub olive oil for the butter), whole wheat egg noodles
Wednesday: Leftovers
Thursday: Sriracha-Glazed Chicken and Onions over brown rice (I’ll make a mild version), sauteed greens or squash
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Take out
Sunday: Grilled rib eye steaks (didn’t get to them today), corn on the cob, farm share veggies

I am going to try those muffins. I love the idea of coconut and have never heard of tadding that. It makes it unique to other plain muffins. Thanks

Those spinach burritos look amazing! We all (even the kids) just love spinach AND Mexican food, so I will definitely be trying this one. Thanks for the idea.

I’m thinking those mini quiches might freeze very well, right???

[...] Monday: Crockpot Pot Roast & Veggies (I’m going to cheat and use McCormick’s packet for the seasoning!) I need something easy since I’m still trying to get the house caught up from our mini-vacay. I’m also using the meat we bought from our a neighbor who is a farmer! This is the BEST beef, I’ve had. Good, locally grown (less than 1 mile from my house), hormone free, BEEF! We split the cow with 3 other families and it ended up working out to around $2.00/lb for all the meat. Our portion should last us a good 6 months, I’m estimating! & Green Beans with Cherry Toms. Tried by Chick in the Kitchen. [...]

Dara,
It all sounds delicious! The Strawberry Coconut muffins look good too, I’ll have to try those sometime. Always looking for a way to spice up muffins…
