As of Sunday, April 26, the last of the April birthdays have been celebrated and we are moving on to May. However, we still have some residual celebrations this week, without kids, so my menu plan for this week centers around foods that they will enjoy without us, things I can make ahead, and as always, ways to use our produce box.
In our box this week, we received: Chard, Leeks, Lettuce, Nantes Carrots, Broccoli (I traded for double leeks), Sugar Snap Peas, Cilantro and Navel Oranges. And here is my Menu Plan for Monday, April 27:
Saturday: Grilled Skirt Steak with Cilantro sauce, Chard souffle, salad, coconut cream pie
Sunday: Chicken Scaloppine with Sugar Snap Peas, Asparagus and Lemon Salad (my birthday dinner!), bread, Strawberry Cake
Monday: Adults out – kids will have pizza (it has been a while!)
Tuesday: Grilled Leeks, Barley Risotto with roasted Beets (leftover from last week), salad
Wednesday: Adults out – kids will have Orange-Glazed Chicken with Carrots and Brown Rice (from Everyday Food, April 2009)
Thursday: Leftovers
Friday: TGIF Mini-block party

I hope you blog about it! I want to see what others get in their CSAs and what they decide to do with all the wonderful veggies
Wow, my menu is usually cook Sunday, eat leftover through Tuesday, cook Wednesday, eat leftovers through Friday. Start again on Saturday. I can make a chicken go 14 different ways. I was impressed at the first menu and the idea of a chard souffle.

you know, that would be a great idea, if I could stand eating leftovers that often. When I met my husband, I did not like leftovers at all, it was not until I had kids that I realized there importance in the universe. But, I can still only tolerate one night of leftovers. Or maybe one night and one lunch. Then I am ready to move on!

[...] week was brutal – a cold took me out on Tuesday, and without my menu plan of last week, we would have surely been eating out every night! The Orange Glazed Chicken from Everyday Food was [...]
