For the most part, my husband Michael and I do our grocery shopping at the Mountain View Farmers’ Market. It’s open year-round. Our home is just a couple of blocks away, so we’re there almost every Sunday morning.
Today is New Year’s Day, which meant that the market was open but not all of the usual vendors were there. Also, Michael and I are just getting over the flu, so I didn’t want to be too ambitious with our dinner plans for the week.
This week, we bought:
- Fuji apples
- leeks
- potatoes
- cauliflower
- red and yellow peppers
- sirloin tip
- spinach bolani
Everything but the beef and the bolani is organic, since it’s so easy to get organic vegetables directly from the farmers.
As for what we’ll do with this (in combination with what’s currently in the fridge):
- Sunday: leftover ham, carrots, perhaps something like this savory mushroom bread pudding if I’m feeling up for it
- Monday: black bean beef, steamed rice
- Tuesday: yoga night, so probably leftovers
- Wednesday: spicy roasted cauliflower; roasted carrots, onions, and potatoes; hummus; bolani
- Thursday: dinner with friends
- Friday: frittata with whatever veg are still left in the house
