[...] I had barely any of those things in my fridge but I was intrigued. I googled melted leeks and found this recipe. The recipe is for melted leeks with lots of other things as well but I just made the leeks. [...]

It’s been really hard for me to get organized for a whole week of grocery shopping. I haven’t been able to get it together very easily, but I find that it is really rewarding when I can DO it! I love it.

[...] July 20, 2010 Moving into the MidAtlantic Midsummer….CSA Week 7 Posted by food4five under Local Foods, Sustainable Eating Leave a Comment So, it’s week 7 for our CSA….and the eating will be good this week. We are moving to mid-summer produce. Corn and tomatos, as well as chard, squash, lettuce, basil, carrots, and cucumbers. The picture below only captures some of what was in our overflowing bag this afternoon. Some of the corn and the lettuce have been consumed already…and I need to plan the use of the remaining ears of corn – not enough for each of us to have an ear, but plenty to use as a key ingredient to something else…perhaps a black bean salad?! I imagine that there will be more pesto prepared, as well as our “standard” cucumber, tomato, and feta salad (maybe with some corn tossed in), sauteed Swiss chard, zucchini bread…and I think that I’d really like to try the summer squash fritters that were on our CSA’s newsletter a couple of weeks ago. I also saw a recipie for a zucchini and tomato tart that I want to try…. And we’ll have to serve some thick sliced tomatos with basil and balsamic vinegar for salad one night. And for the carrots, we should make the honey carrot medallions that are such a hit with the picky eater. Ahh… I think I’m getting into the menu planning space that my fellow blogger at Married….with Dinner recommended. [...]

What a lovely recipe. It sounds perfect for a delicious weeknight dinner. I love seeing how you plan everything out. I try to maintain a similar approach but really should plan before the farmer’s market not afterwards! That is a great tip.

I think this all is brilliant, but you already knew that:-)

What I really wanted to say is that the leek, quinoa, egg dish is wonderful! Just made it for lunch—simple and sophisticated. Brilliant!

I have been posting my menus on Mondays for the last year – mostly to manage our veggie box from Two Small Farms. It is such a time saver, and we waste far less food. Plus, lunch leftovers are way more exciting than a boring sandwich. Most of my friends think I am nuts, I try to explain how nice it is to have a plan ahead of time….

I’m a planner, but that part of me hasn’t yet spilled over into my meal ideas… I’m more spontaneous there… but I need the motivation to plan better! Thanks for the great ideas : )
