Menu Plan Monday- Week of June 20, 2011

This week is another eat from the pantry week although I did just do a large Costco run last week, so we are pretty well stocked. I am trying to save up for some special 'surprise' things for my husband this summer, and this is a good way to do it without him knowing!

Also, I have been struggling a little with headaches and blood pressure issues since having my third baby. I am going to try to add some more things to adjust this issue. One thing is more water, kefir smoothies, and soups.

Here is what we will be receiving in our Produce share tomorrow:

CAULIFLOWER

GREEN CABBAGE

GREEN KALE

ROMAINE LETTUCE

CELERY

CARROTS

LEEKS

BABY TURNIPS W TOPS

JAPANESE WHITE SWEET POTATOES

YELLOW GINGER

PLUOTS

STRAWBERRIES

NECTARINES

BANANAS

FRUIT SHARES: BLACKBERRIES, AND WATERMELON!!
