Weekly Menu

Welcome to the start of another great week!  I am so excited because it is going to be beautiful here with a great mix of sun and showers.  It's really feeling like winter (well, as "winter-y" as it get's in Southern California) and we are taking full advantage.  We made our gingerbread house this past weekend, have had some lovely fires in the fireplace, and enjoyed snuggling under blankets.  But in the midst of all that, we got some great food from the farms this week!  We selected some kale, chard, beets, cilantro, orange and green cauliflower, red potatoes, parsnips, persimmons, guava, carrots, baby sweet onion, and tomatoes (I KNOW!  I can't believe they are still growing!)  With this variety, we will be enjoying the following meals:

• Spinach and Cheese Ravioli with my Farm Fresh Marinara and Beet Salad with Pecans and Goat Cheese
• using the beets

• Cheesy Mushroom Taquitos with Healthier Spanish Rice, Crock Pot "Refried" Beans, and Pico de Gallo
• using the cilantro and tomatoes

• Creamy Chard and Spinach Cold-Weather Soup with Roasted Root Vegetables
• using the chard and some spinach from last week, carrots, parsnips, and potatoes

• I will be having the Kaleslaw for lunch
• using the kale

• We will be making Cauliflower Popcorn for a snack and enjoying the persimmons and guava (how fun is that?!) as treats.

What's on your menu this week?  I'd love to know!
