Back to Meal Planning after a little hiatus... Aug 1- Aug 6

Coming back home after a long Jersey vacation of eating nothing but carbs... it's those good bakeries I tell ya... thankfully, we have nothing like it out here in Temecula. So excited to get back to cooking after receiving a CSA box of goodies yesterday.
While we were away some creatures ate a lot of our own garden tomoatoes... but thankfully my sis had a bag of small romas waiting for me.
Started the morning off by making marinara sauce... boiled the tomatoes until they float and "cracked", strained into our hand-crank peeler and seeder... sauteed the end sauce with fresh basil and a little olive oil for later's pasta. Yum!

With a bag of tomatillos from our farm, today I will make a Tomatillo Salsa Verde for later use.

Sunday: Pasta with homemade marinara sauce, Mixed greens salad with tomatoes and cucumbers

Monday: Vegetable stir fry (chard, onions, carrots, garlic) sauteed in olive oil, with brown rice

Tuesday: Boca Burgers on roll with String bean salad (Steamed until tender, drizzled with olive oil, garlic and Balsamic vinegar)

Wednesday: and Summer squash, White bean and Pesto soup (Saute chopped onion and squash in olive oil with salt and pepper until tender. Add chicken or vege broth, drained and rinsed white beans, and chopped fresh oregano and parsley. Bring to a simmer. Top with a dollop of pesto.) Recipe from Sunset, Aug 2010.
