Week 18 Menu Plan

Basket of 4 Pickling Cucumbers
First of this Summer's Cucumbers

Featuring cucumbers, baby turnips, padron peppers, assorted greens, basil and beets


We still didn’t use our radishes from weeks past, so it looks like Sauteed Radishes with their Greens are on the menu soon. Carrots and celery from other weeks will combine well in my Steamed Fish on a Bed of Veggies (or whatever I named it!) and perhaps some padron peppers will add some unusual spiciness. Luckily, we never seem to tire of Tuscan-style Garlic Spinach & Arugula, a simple and very tasty, healthy dish that cooks down a large volume of greens neatly.


It looks like a busy week, and right in the middle of summer, when we ought to be relaxing! So our recipes/menus are as simple as possible this week.
