From our Two Small Farms vegetable delivery, I managed to score two bunches of Basil, so I plan to whip up an easy pesto for the freezer. And, after doing that, I will be sure to make gnocchi with pesto, one of my kid’s favorites.
Our box also contained Scallions, San Marzano Tomatoes, Purple Cauliflower, Garnet Yams, Golden Beets and Strawberries. Julie of Fraises et Tartines posted some fun photos of the box. My menu plan for this week is simple:
Sunday: Vegetable Curry with Garbanzo Beans, rice, fruit
Monday: Gnocchi with basil pesto, grilled sausages, roasted beets
Tuesday: leftovers
Wednesday: Roast chicken with cauliflower and carrots
Thursday: Family Picnic
Friday: Pizza night? We did it last week, and boy did it turn out great!
The yams I will save for something later this weekend (not sure what yet, but I do love this Honey Roasted Sweet Potatoes recipe from Susan at Foodblogga). And the scallions I will throw on the grill sometime this week. Love them when they are slightly charred!
What is your plan this week? Check out Laura at Org Junkie and Menu Plan Monday for more suggestions.
P.S. You might have noticed I usually have sausages at least once a week – my freezer is full of these treasures, from either Dittmer’s Wursthaus in Mountain View or Corralitos Meat Market near Watsonville.

Gosh, I can’t believe I didn’t know about Dittmer’s!! I’ll stop by this week after my stop at Milk Pail! Grazie!

yes, it is a great place to stop after Milk Pail! Unfortunately, I always think about heading down there on the weekend and Milk Pail is so popular on the weekends. Must remember to head over mid-week sometime.
BTW, the smoked pork chops from Dittmer’s are out of this world!
