wk 7 share: lettuce, tomatos, green pepper, garlic, onions, cantaloupe, oregano, parsley, watermelon, tomatoes, jalapenos, corn
This is probably the last week of real cooking and eating at home because school gets going next week. Most of the ‘meals’ for this week are some version of a potluck, so next week’s list of recipes will be a lot of salads. But I’m getting ahead of myself. As far as last week’s share we did pretty well this. We had a few vegetables that we couldn’t quite finish, but we ate at least half of everything and often everything. Here’s how it happened.
Tuesday: Ratatouille from an old edition of the William Sonoma Bride and Groom Cookbook
Veggies Eaten: Zucchini, Onion, Eggplant, Tomato, Thyme, Green Pepper
Comment: This would definitely be better as a side and not a main dish, we were left hungry. We also confirmed our dislike of eggplant.
Thursday: Chicken Tostadas and Salsa
Veggies Eaten: Tomatoes, Radishes, Lettuce, Onions, Jalapeno
Comment: I have always loved this recipe. This is probably the real recipe of the week, but I knew I liked it so I’m going to give it to something that was new this week.
Saturday: Arugula, Corn, and Bacon Pizza from the Minimalist Cooks at Dinner
Veggies Eaten: Arugula, Corn
Comment: This recipe has potential. It would probably be better with cheese (either Parm or Moz) and the Arugula should be added after cooking rather than before as the recipe requires.
Sunday: Vegetable Frittata with Asiago Cheese
Veggies Eaten: Zucchini, Tomatoes
Comment: Really good.
Monday: Potato, Green Bean, and Pesto Pasta from the Minimalist Cooks Dinner
Veggies Eaten: Green Beans, Potato, Garlic Scapes
Comment: This recipe may have been improved by using regular pesto and not the garlic scape pesto that I made weeks ago and froze, but even then it was pretty bland and needed both salt and cheese to be edible.
