Our CSA is totally exploding in peaches so this weekend I’ll have to under take two big peach related projects: ice cream and pie. It’s a hard job but someone has to do it! Below the cut you’ll see the menu and CSA listing for the week :3
Menu: Found My Wallet
Had a bit of a run in with my wallet. In that I lost it in a parking lot but now I’ve got it back and I’m pretty pleased about that. Have a menu! Continue reading
Menu: After Dinner Party
Had a big dinner party this weekend that went super well for being semi-unplanned! Very proud of myself. And now the CSA stuff and menu~ Continue reading
Recipe: Zucchini Galette
This is a two part recipe (or three if you want to be super technical) but it comes together without much effort, probably about 15 minutes actual prep (though there’s 30 minutes sitting time so plan accordingly).

Another week another CSA and menu under the cut!

Recipe: Black Bean Enchiladas
I had never had enchiladas before so this was an experience in deliciousness. The sauce came together almost instantly and without effort and the bean burrito things were beyond delicious. This makes a surprising 8 enchiladas which we ate over 4 nights. This was also extremely spicy but I blame that on the way too hot salsa I used.

Recipe: Chicken Pot Pie
Who doesn’t love a chicken pot pie? This recipe is a little time intensive but you can save time by making the crust and filling ahead of time or just using ready made pie crust. You can freeze this pie pretty well before baking and cook from frozen (adding some time to the final bake) but it’s also delicious piping hot out of the oven and makes great leftovers for several days.

Menu: A Little Sloppy
I don’t have time to make the menu very pretty this week because the move has been hectic and things have been “interesting” but at least I made a menu. I intend to stick to it and have some of the recipes up this weekend and next week. Whew! Continue reading
Meta: Recipe Collection
Since we’re busy packing and about to move in our new place we’re cleaning out our fridge which means a lot of stir fry, omelets, and eating very boring food!
There’s plenty of recipes that I went to try when I move in to the new place though and since the cooking has been boring, at least the linking can be interesting (I hope!). Expect a menu and CSA report on Tuesday like usual though <3
Lemon Risotto – I have a weakness for risotto and haven’t made it in a while. I will probably change up the veggies in this recipe and maybe the flavors but this looks pretty solid and easy.
Enchiladas – I have never eaten or made these – yikes! I’m definitely over due on that.
Carrot and Chicken Stew – We get fantastic carrots in tons of varieties from our CSA and this sounds like a great way to them all.
Chicken Tortilla Soup – Just looks heavenly doesn’t it? Nice and cozy!
May add more to this list over the next few days but those are my culinary plans so far. ’til next time!
