I really like cooking. I like supporting local farmers, and gardening. Health is very important to me as well. I also work full time and don't make a lot of money... This is a blog about trying to cook healthy food, made from sustainable ingredients, on a budget, after I get home from a long day. I thought my attempts might be helpful/entertaining to others with similar concerns. I am also hoping that others will read this blog and give me tips!

Menu Plan week of November 11th
Winter seems to have arrived in Minneapolis. It snowed a little a couple of weeks ago, but then it got warm again. I was actually able to where short sleeves yesterday. And then today the high is in the 30s and it is predicted to stay there. I am kind of excited. Moving from Oregon I kind of psyched myself up for a super intense winter, and last year it was very mild (by Minnesota standards). The cold weather is cozy. It is nice to sit in my apartment and thing about all of the delicious things I plan to make this week.
Despite the cold weather and impending snow, we are still receiving our CSA box. I forgot to take a picture of it last week, and will try to remember on Friday when we get our new box (winter CSA boxes come bi-monthly) . In our last CSA box we got: carrots, red onions, winter squash, collards, loose salad spinach, savor cabbage, cauliflower, cilantro, and radishes. We used up the collards and spinach last week, but you will see the other items featured prominently in this weeks menu plan.
Sunday
Cauliflower Currey over barley
Monday
Tacos
Radish salad
Tuesday
Cabbage and Barley Casserole
Wednesday
Black bean soup with roasted squash
Thursday
Beet Burgers
Roasted Potatoes
Friday
This is when we will be getting a new box of veggies!
I will try to add links to actual recipes as they are completed and tested, but sometimes I find it helpful just to look at ideas for what to serve for dinner. I am sure there are delicious versions of all of these things on the internet somewhere.
