Weekly Menu (8/19/12-8/25/12)

This week in our half of the Bountiful Basket (I share with my brother) we got:

• brussel sprouts
• tucsan kale
• cauliflower
• onions
• plums
• nectarines
• apple pears
• green grapes
• bananas 

We also got the guacamole add on pack which had:

• avocados
• green onions
• yellow onions
• garlic
• cilantro
• limes
• jalapenos
• anaheim peppers

I also have cherries, lettuce, oranges, clementines, apples, red grapes, peaches, watermelon, green peppers, corn on the cob, celery, potatoes and carrots to supplement the basket.

This week for breakfast: There is Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins, Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins, and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins to choose from, one-eyed sandwiches, fresh fruit, and cereal for the kids; and smoothies, water kefir with fruit puree, scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, and baked oatmeal for me.

This week for lunches: The first part of the week the both boys will be taken care of at their sitters' house. School starts on Wednesday, so my older son will be getting a lunch from home starting then.  For myself, I plan on eating leftovers, I also have green peppers, carrots, cauliflower, and celery with hummus everyday and a glass of water kefir with fruit puree (a good portion of my plums, peaches, nectarines, and cherries will go to that). My husband always has sandwiches, chips, and a banana in his lunch (boring, but that's what he likes).
