Week 22 Menu Plan

Summer and Winter Squashes

Featuring tomatoes, sweet peppers, potatoes, basil, and fennel


It’s the everything-with-tomatoes time of year, and luckily we’ve got fennel, sweet peppers, leeks, and basil, which will combine with them beautifully. I bought my first-of-the-season winter squash though I might just admire it for a week before cooking it. I’d like to experiment with some sweets to share this week. Our CSA recipe maven posted an intriguing recipe for vegan basil-orange chocolate truffles. I’m going to wander through the usual haunts for the last of this year’s blackberries, and perhaps make a pie. And I hope to finally make those intriguing carrot pancakes for a breakfast treat on Labor Day.
