Weekly Menu (6/24/12-6/30/12)

This week in our Bountiful Basket (which we share with my awesome brother and his wife) we got the regular basket plus 12 clam shells of blueberries and a Mexican pack add-on:   

• bananas
• nectarines
• cherries
• mangoes
• tomatoes
• onions
• potatoes
• blueberries

In the Mexican pack we got:

• avocados
• Anaheim peppers
• jalapenos
• grey squash
• green onions
• limes

I also have some water chestnuts, carrots, watermelon, cantalope, canary melon, grapes, lettuce, plums, baby kale, and broccoli sprouts to supplement the basket. And I'm picking about 1-2 cups of strawberries a day from our strawberry patch, so we will have plenty of those again this week.


This week for breakfast: Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, fresh fruit, and cereal for the kids, and baked oatmeal, smoothies (blueberries, bananas, nectarines, mangoes, strawberries, and the baby kale are going to be used), or fresh fruit for me.

This week for lunches: The boys are taken care of at their sitters'. I'll be eating leftovers, and of course, I bring fruit with my everyday.
