Meals from the Basket (Week One)

Menu Planning based on a weekly produce co-op...

So the veggies in my basket this week were screaming Mexican! So I knew that was what we were going to be doing for dinners throughout the week. But, we also enjoyed quite a bit of salad with the big head of lettuce we received. Here are a couple examples of what we ate with our bounty.

Pico De Gallo

6 medium romas, diced

1 onion, diced

1/2 bunch of cilantro (leftover from making salsa!), chopped

1 tsp salt and 1 Tbsp minced garlic

Mix it all up and enjoy!!!

Steak Fajitas with Refried Beans

Tortillas were from a previous co-op basket purchase!

Chicken Salad ("Pittsburgh style" -- with chicken and FRENCH FRIES on top of a salad of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, boiled egg, etc.) Soooo good.

Breakfasts: Banana Smoothies (recipe is coming in a later post!)

Lunches: Cucumber Salad (sliced up with vinegar, S&P, paprika, oil in a container in the fridge to take a little bit from each day)

Snacks: Apples/Plums/Nectarines/Grapes

Dessert: Apple Crisp (recipe is coming in a later post!)

Going to get this week's basket in an hour! Can't wait to see what we are going to get this time!!!
