Menu Plan Monday- Week of October 24, 2011

The hit of last week was by far the 

Chicken Stew w/ Apples

It was like Fall in a Bowl.

I highly recommend it for any of you who are feeling in the

Fall Spirit and want a cozy meal to have together as a family. 

We actually made it twice!

It is wonderful served with a rustic loaf of bread you can tear off and dip.

Menu Plan Monday- Week of October 3, 2011

So I'm a little late this week, but I have good reason,

I promise...

I represented CraftGossip at The Martha Stewart Show!!! 

You can read about my adventure here.

Our menu plan from last week was awesome.

We loved every soup that we made. 

Our ultimate favorite was the

Sausage, Kale and White Bean Soup

It is delicious and so fresh. 

I used Argentinian Sausage from Publix

because it had the most healthy ingredients 

and I actually knew what everything was that was in them 

(Some of the sausages had high fructose corn syrup...

Why...why? Really? Is that necessary? )

Here is what we have left from our produce share:

BOK CHOY (1 head)

CARROTS

ROMAINE LETTUCE

YELLOW ONIONS

CURLY PARSLEY

YELLOW GINGER

RED PLUMS

NECTARINES

NEW POTATOES

FLORIDA AVOCADOS
