Menu Plan Monday: Memorial Day Menu

With three days in this weekend, I am taking advantage of the extra time by preparing a couple dishes that are new. Also, in our Two Small Farms CSA box this week, I scored over 2 pounds of fava beans, so I am looking for new recipes to use the bounty.

In our box this week we received Fava Beans, Zucchini, Strawberries, Bok Choy, Chantenay Carrots, Purplette Onions, and Bacon Avocados. Here is my menu plan for this week:

Monday: Grilled Chicken, Fava Bean and Orzo Salad (from Simply Organic by Jesse Ziff Cool), Grilled Purplette Onions, bread

Tuesday: Zucchini Soup, Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

Wednesday: Leftovers

Thursday: Salmon, sautéed Bok Choy, Guacamole (Avocado) Rice Salad (from my new Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure by Lorna Sass)

Friday: TGIF Mini-block party

    Why do you file this under hot buttered toast? :) It makes my mouth water.
