Second Week Menus

The second week of eating locally was delicious and I even got to go out for a meal! Lunches remained grilled cheese or turkey sandwiches or leftovers complimented by some of Beverly McLaughlin's (at the County Market) delicious Gazpacho! I am missing some of my other lunch items (namely Beverly's chickpea salad, chips and pretzels), but have been doing okay other than that. Breakfasts have been a lot of pancakes (made with the whey leftover from our homemade mozarella project), eggs (hardboiled and scrambled), homemade breakfast breads (likely zucchini bread or blackberry crumb cake from the Matthews Farmer's market) or my own homemade bread with jam from a friend. Dinners were great this week...I have listed the menus below and will follow up with some recipes in a later post.

Monday, July 16th: Dinner out with our close friends to Ratcliffe on the Green. Fabulous, almost entirely local food!

Tuesday, July 17th: Squash Tacos (we had to find SOMETHING to do with all of that squash)

Wednesday, July 18th: Penne pasta from Pasta and Provisions with tomatoes, basil, garlic and olive oil with homemade bread from Matthews Farmer's Market

Thursday, July 19th: Veggie sandwiches with cantaloupe

Friday, July 20th: Make your own grilled pizzas
