Week 23 Menu Plan

Basket with Five Gala Apples
First Five Galas of the Year

Featuring tomatoes, greens, strawberries, green beans, and apples


We’ve been eating homemade tomato sauce with pasta for days, and plan a similar use of the Early Girl tomatoes this week. Seems like no matter how few veggies get added, homemade sauce is always delicious. End-of-season strawberries won’t last long, so we need to eat them pronto. We got our first heirloom tomatoes of the year this week, so will be enjoying them with the leftover basil soon. Speaking of basil, I didn’t get to the basil-orange chocolate truffles last week, and they are just too intriguing not to make! Soon.
