Weekly Menu (6/10/12-6/16/12)

This week in our Bountiful Basket (which we share with my awesome brother and his wife) we got the regular basket plus an Asain pack add-on:

• napa cabbage 
• bok choy
• water chestnuts
• snow peas
• green onions
• basil
• corn on the cob (which we will eat tonight, for sure)
• kale (which I've already made kale chips out of) :)
• tomatoes
• celery
• acorn squash
• mango
• peaches
• plums
• apples
• bananas

We also went to the farmer's market today and picked up some broccoli sprouts (I'm in love with these), rhubarb, honey, and some organic hummis (which is absolutely fantastic)

I also have bell peppers, bananas, lettuce, potatoes, baby carrots, a pineapple and oranges left from last week, and I'm picked about 1-2 cups of strawberries a day from our strawberry patch, so we will have plenty of those this week, too.

  

This week for breakfast: Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, and cereal for the kids, and Homemade Yogurt  with Udi's granola or baked oatmeal for me.

This week for lunches: The boys are taken care of at their sitters'.  I'll be eating leftovers, unless by some strange reason we have none, then I'll be making myself hummus wraps (corn tortillas, hummus, sprouts, tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce...it's my new favorite lunch).  And of course, I bring fruit with my everyday, so that's where the plums, apples, and bananas will go.
