WEEKLY MEAL WRAP UP

Posted by Anais Dervaes

The meals last week were certainly very colorful and tasty.  We are still working on using up the huge bag of carrots we harvested a few weeks back so we enjoyed an easy and very delicious carrot salad with almost each one of our meals.

The tromboncino squashes are young and very tender and sweet - perfect for summer squash dishes.  We tried a new squash casserole recipe that caught our eye and it turned out really delicious.  The guys even asked for seconds and that's always a good thing!

Enjoying sweet and plump figs on sandwiches, in flour tortillas and toppings on pizza.  Figs are a very versatile food and enjoying using them in savory dishes.

Not to mention for dessert we've been devouring Jordanne's scrumptious avocado and chocolate cupcakes.  Thing is they are so good - too good in fact they are dangerous!  Dangerous to the waistline (well, for me anyway)  I'm the kind that looks at desserts and can gain 5 lbs.

  1. have you thought of replacing the raisins in your carrot salad with chopped figs?

  2. Your meals look scrumptious Anais! Is Jordanne willing to share the cupcake recipe?
