Monday plan day, 10/12

Organic delivery this week: blueberries, pomegranates, kiwi, red pears, radishes with tops, spinach, carrots, celery, gold beets, red onions, red potatoes, romaine lettuce, shallots, tomatoes

Dairy delivery this week: Two 1/2 gallons of 2% milk, eggs,

Monday - Satisfying lentil soup (using onions, celery, and carrots from last week's delivery, homemade veggie stock from our freezer, and lentils from our pantry), with twice baked sweet potatoes and yellow squash on the side (all items from the organic or dairy deliveries). This is a vegetarian meal.

Tuesday - Penne with chicken sausage, beans, and greens (spinach from the delivery, sausage from our freezer, beans from our pantry)

Wednesday - Leftover soup

Thursday - Dinner with family

Friday - Leftover penne

Saturday - It's a home football day, so snacks for dinner it is! Cheese, homemade bread, and fresh green veggies.

Sunday - Hosting a family dinner, menu is yet to be decided.

Other things that are on our cooking list for this week—green tomato salsa (the tomatoes all had to come in off the plants, so it's time to use them up), sandwich bread, and bagels (I never got around to trying those last week, so they go on this week's list instead).

Grocery list - For dinners this week I will need grape tomatoes and white wine for the penne dish.  We also need more yeast and flour.  Clavin has requested apple sauce, and I'm too lazy to make it when Meijer offers the organic affordably (we'll make it some time this season, though). We also need the usual OJ, of course, and a few things for canning the salsa, including sweet peppers, jalapenos, lime juice, and garlic. Oh, and more cans to add to our collection!  Happy week!
