Weekly plan, 10/26

Organic delivery this week: 2 avocados, 4 bananas, 4 pears, 7 honey crisp apples, 4 kiwi, 2 bunches of kale, 1 bunch rainbow carrots, 1 bunch celery, 1lb gold potatoes, 1.5lb jewel yams, 1 bunch spinach, 1.5lbs yellow onions, 4 pie pumpkins, 1 1/2 gallon apple cider.

Dairy delivery this week: Two 1/2 gallons of 2% milk, 1 pint heavy whipping cream, butter, eggs

Monday - French spaghetti and sweet potatoes (using hamburger from our freezer, noodles from our pantry, and garlic, onion, and sweet potatoes from previous deliveries)

Tuesday - Spinach quiche and pumpkin soup (using eggs from our dairy delivery and spinach from our organic delivery, and pantry items for the homemade crust, then pumpkins from the delivery and cream from the dairy delivery for the soup).

Wednesday - It's pumpkin carving night! That means it's Irish boiled dinner and Irish soda bread (using carrots and potatoes from the organic delivery and several pantry items)

Thursday - Leftover quiche

Friday - Zupa Toscana (using kale and potatoes from the delivery, whipping cream from the dairy delivery, and sausage from the freezer)

Saturday - Halloween! Time for Halloween soup (better known as vegetable beef) and homemade rolls (using carrots and celery from the delivery)

Sunday - Leftover soup

Other things that are on our cooking list for this week—Apple mango crisp (using apples and mangoes from last week's delivery). Also, bagels got put off again, and they're even iffy for this week. I will have time one of these days...

Grocery list - For dinners this week I will need mushrooms and feta cheese for quiche, brisket and cabbage for boiled dinner, and noodles, beef, and barley for Halloween soup. As usual we need OJ, and I need a few lunch items, like Greek yoghurt. We also need to replenish several staples this week, like olive oil, soy sauce, cayenne pepper, cinnamon, honey, oats, and salt. I think that's about it. Happy week!
