What's For Dinner? Week 5

I've been pretty bad about taking pictures lately. In lots of areas.

This week's meals {November 26 - December 1} included steak on the grill and Anderson's natural casing hot dogs... neither of which merited a photo. ;-)

But I do have one sorta' fancy meal that I will share, even though I was the only one to eat it. ;)


Before I do, here is the FINAL veggie bag we received on November 22nd. I will write another brief post about the harvest dinner we attended that night for our final pick up, because I just have so much good to say about our CSA farmers. Wonderful, wonderful people.

Contents: kohlrabi, cabbage, leeks, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, lettuce, bok choy, an orange and a white cauliflower and green bunching onions.


Over the long Thanksgiving break, we made a LOT of yummy, hot breakfasts. Here's one with Wee Cottage Cheese Pancakes. But I also made lemon sour cream pancakes and oatmeal in the crock pot.
I tried a creamy cauliflower soup recipe (made entirely in the microwave!) from our CSA newsletter.

And also an Italian Stuffed Squash recipe. I will try to get back on later to share these two recipes because this is a CSA newsletter recipe too and I don't have that in front of me right now. But you could really use whatever your favorite ziti-type pasta recipe is. I just baked the halved, cleaned acorn squashes for an hour with a little oil, salt and pepper.

Then stuffed them with a homemade sausage pasta and fresh mozzarella cubes and put back in oven to warm for 20 minutes.



Tossed salads/raw veggies and some clementines to go with. Craig's pasta was baked in a ramekin 'cause no way would he touch an acorn squash [rolls eyes] but this meal was not the biggest hit with my family. I gave a stuffed squash "to go" to my mom who stopped by that evening and she raved over it. So I know it's a good recipe. I just have finicky eaters. ;)



Another night: breakfast for dinner. More lemon sour cream pancakes and dressed up scrambled eggs. (Will hates eggs.)


Happy eating, friends!
