CSA/Garden and Menu: Week of OCTOBER 2

How did it get to be October?? We're in a wonderful part of the Southeast where it is definitely feeling like fall (at least temporarily), but there is still lots garden produce--and will be through the month. Here's our "take" this week:

CSA:

• quart of small plum tomatoes
• 1 good-sized head of cabbage
• 4 small heads of broccoli (yum!)
• small bag of basil
• 4 hot peppers
• 3 beautiful bell peppers
• 1 bag of white potatoes (maybe a pound?)
• 1 bag of big summer squash (8-ball, regular zucchini, and yellow)

Garden:

• lots of small orange slicing tomatoes
• lots of red cherry tomatoes
• small green bell pepper
• LOTS of banana peppers (and I mean LOTS)
• LOTS and LOTS of basil (I thought it would get too cold this weekend, so I harvested it all... and there is LOTS and LOTS and LOTS.... time for some serious pesto making)

Menu:

• Monday: Light and Easy Italian Chicken, spaghetti squash marinara, spinach salad
• Tuesday: Confetti-Stuffed Burritos
• Wednesday: Potato, Bacon, and Egg Scramble (someday I'll post this recipe!), biscuits, fruit
• Thursday-Friday: Pasta with Lentils, broccoli
• Saturday (company's coming!): Sunday pork roast, mashed potatoes (or sweet potatoes), speedy rosemary green beans, extras
