One thing I haven’t been really good at is planning out meals for the week. I’ve also been really bad at remembering when the CSA box was arriving and I always managed to double up on the fruits and veggies, which some, unfortunately, went to waste.<\/p>\n

Well for some reason, I decided to change that. Yesterday.<\/p>\n

I went to the CSA site so I knew what to expect in the box this morning (and knew what not to buy at the grocery store).<\/p>\n

Then I took it one step further and mapped out what we were going to have for dinner this week:<\/p>\n

Monday – Chipotle Bean Burritos<\/strong>
\nThis recipe<\/a> from Cooking Light is tried and true and the kidlets LOVE it.<\/p>\n

Tuesday – Lentils with Spinach and Eggs<\/strong>
\nI’ve been seeing a lot of lentil dishes with poached eggs. Really, anything with poached eggs. I don’t have a recipe for this, so will be making it up as I go along. May serve it with roasted potatoes, not sure yet.<\/p>\n

Wednesday – Butternut Squash Soup<\/strong>
\nRecipe courtesy of Mrs. Chris Martin. Grilled cheese and\/or salad on the side.<\/p>\n

Thursday – Italian Sausage & Chard Crust-less Quiche<\/strong>
\n…or fritatta. Using my basic quiche recipe (eggs, cream, s&p, nutmeg, gruyere) and adding sauteed sausage & chard.<\/p>\n

Friday – possible date night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday – Easy Peasy Chile Verde<\/strong>
\nThe kids have swim class late on Saturdays, so needless to say we get home pretty late. I’ll be using the slow cooker for this one.<\/p>\n

Sunday – 10-hour Roast Chicken<\/strong>
\nAnother one courtesy of Mrs. Martin. Slow roasting the chicken at a very low temp for 10 hours.<\/p>\n

(I’ll update with pics if I remember…)<\/p>\n

What are you cooking this week?<\/p>\n
