Yes, I skipped meal planning last week and it was a bit of a mess. So, I am back at it again this week. Please, do what I say not what I do!
Another week of a full box of veggies from my CSA. I have to use my eggplant, cabbage, squashes, tomatoes, peppers, corn, spaghetti squash and basil. I am going to make some freezer salsa for my peppers and tomatoes. I have also found a new love for eggplant, my favorite way is roasted, yum! Lastly, I have about 4 dozen farm fresh eggs that I need to start utilizing, so another fritatta this week. Good thing we love eggs!
I only need about 5 dinners this week because we will be out a few nights. So let me know if you have any great ideas from my CSA share.

What meals are you planning this week? Any tips on how to easily meal plan? Whether or not you posted your meal plan for the week, please take a moment to leave your meal plan here. Let’s help each other out in sticking to our budgets!
Best meal planning advise I have is to choose meals with similar ingrdients. For example, we make Lamb Roast and then use the leftovers in pasties. Very tasty
It looks like your family is vegetarian with a small amount of fish allowed. Am I right? Are you Seventh Day Adventists? My husband won’t even eat a meal unless there is meat involved, I know it is terrible, but he won’t change.
No, we aren’t vegetarians. We are working at eating more healthy and trying to incorporate lots of organics, and the main thing we have now is wild caught salmon and lots of vegetables from our CSA. We do eat meat, but not as much as we used to!
How did you make homemade wheat tortillas?
That BBQ roasted salmon recipe was THE BOMB!!!
I know, isn’t it good? It is our all time favorite!
I have a great recipe for tomatoes & basil….the sauce is simply tomatoes, a small of tomato paste (to thicken it), whipping cream, salt & pepper and fresh garlic. It is served over pasta and topped with lots of fresh basil. It is one of my familie’s favorites! Let me know if you want the specifics.
Liesl – I would LOVE that recipe, I have all those ingredients on hand and I am making homemade pasta this week!
