My Monday Menu Plan: Basil

By Kitchen Gadget Girl | Published: June 28, 2010

Basil

As it turns out, with the kids off at sleepaway camp, and a couple dinners out, I am thinking that I don’t actually need a menu plan this week. Our box from Two Small Farms has a couple things that I will need to eat this week (Little Gem Lettuce, Strawberries, Cherry Tomatoes) but the rest ought to be ok until this weekend, which since it is the 4th, works out well.

The rest of our box contained Basil, Mei Quin Choy (like Bok Choy), Purplette Cocktail Onions, Orange Cauliflower and New Potatoes.

By the way, did you hear about the Basil Blight hitting the East Coast? Sounds like the perfect time to make an easy pesto with this week’s basil!

What is on your menu plan this week? Any interesting hot-weather ideas? Check out these thirteen dinners for a hot night….
