I don't know about you, but I am so done with summer! We have had a crazy heat wave for too long now. I do not like 90+ degree weather! I am ready for cooler temps, clouds, and nice cool breezes. But even with the heat, you know I still made it to the farms!! :) We picked up some gorgeous red-leaf lettuce, basil, carrots, green beans, sweet Maui onion, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, green tomatoes, red tomatoes, and a funny little green and purple tomato. I have no idea what that little guy is, but I thought I would try it. If you know what that little tomato is on the bottom left corner, let me know! :) With this selection, I will be making the following meals this week:
- Pesto, Tomato, Goat Cheese and Arugula Pizza with Italian-Style Green Beans
- using the basil, red tomatoes, green beans, and sweet Maui onion
- Plate Lunch - Chicken Katsu with Hawaiian Style Mac Salad and rice
- using the carrots
- 4 Cheese Ravioli in Tomato Basil Cream Sauce with Caprese Salad
- using the basil and red tomatoes
- Sauteed Mushroom and Zucchini Finger Foods
- using some remaining zucchini from last week
- Fried Green Tomatoes with Ranch Dip
- using the green tomatoes
- For lunches, I will be enjoying some cheese sandwiches with cucumber tomato salad
- using the sweet Maui onion, red leaf lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber
Looks like a good menu for the week!
ReplyDeleteThose little green and purple tomatoes look like tomatillos that someone has removed from their husks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomatillo
