My Weekly Meal Plan
This week we got an email from our CSA that we could come pick up a share of strawberries! I had purchased a half-price gift card from the CSA using my Plum District deal and I purchased $50 in organic strawberries to freeze for smoothies this year. I got 6 gallon bags of frozen strawberries!! Plus, we are hoping to take the kids strawberry picking soon, and I think I am going to attempt my Grandmother Kelly’s frozen strawberry jam. I have dreams about that over warm homemade easy biscuits.
Our CSA strawberries to flash freeze!
Sunday: Community Group Dinner (I am making brownies and Garlicky Kale for the group to go with a pot roasts.)
Monday: Southwestern Burritos, garden salad with tomatoes (first batch from our garden!)
Tuesday: Mother’s Day Out Chick-fil-A night
