Our first week of summer vacation and so much to do! Camps and swim team and poolside BBQs. I feel like I am already behind, and summer is supposed to be relaxing. Ack.
Avocado
Our box from Two Small Farms this week had a nice large bag of Bacon Avocados, my favorite. There might be some guacamole, or maybe in salads or my favorite, on toasted sourdough with mayonnaise and salt. This is one food I am glad the kids don’t like, leaves more for me!
The rest of our box contained Lacinto Kale, Parsley, Strawberries, Romaine and Red Leaf Lettuce, Summer Squash, New Potatoes, and Cherry Tomatoes. The strawberries and tomatoes were instantly inhaled, here is my plan for the rest of our vegetable box for the week of June 14:
Monday: Summer Squash Sloppy Joes, salad
Tuesday: Taco Salad (includes lettuce, tomatoes, black beans, and taco-seasoned meat), guacamole, chips, salad
Wednesday: BBQ at the pool – I plan to bring Orzo with Grilled Shrimp and Summer Vegetables, as well as a Cherry Pie!
Thursday: Kale-Potato Soup (from our CSA newsletter), bread, salad
Friday: Kid’s Night Out! (translation: kids are busy, so adults get to go out too!)
What is on your menu plan this week? Any suggestions for good BBQ food?

What a great idea – a vegetable box – we’re eating ALOT of salads at the moment and trying to cut out all processed food
