Prudent Produce Menu 10/1/12

I can't believe it is already October on Monday! Bring on fall, I am cooking up some vegetarian chili tonight.

Remember you can find prior menu posts all in one place on Pinterest.

This is what I am expecting from Prudent Produce this week:

Standard Menu


3-Gala Apples

2-Bartlett Pears

1-Pomegranate

1-Thomcord Grape (lb)

4-Bananas

1-Red Leaf Lettuce

1-Cucumber

1-Green Bell Pepper

1-Leek (~lb)

1-Spinach bunch

1-Artichoke

Baked Salmon with Cucumber Dill Sauce: I usually whip up an easy sauce of mayo, white vinegar, mustard and dill. I rarely eat salmon myself, and I don't worry too much about calories with the three skinnies I live with. This looks like a refreshing and much lighter alternative though!

Pear Custard Tarts with Pomegranate: I am not at all a baker, so I would opt for purchasing the tart shells. What a pretty dessert!

Breakfast Casserole with Leeks, Spinach, Artichokes & Goat Cheese: I am not a goat cheese fan, but you could sub in feta, or just about anything. I think this would also be tasty with some vegetarian sausage mixed in.

Steamed Whole Artichoke with Roasted Beet Hummus - roasted beet hummus? Why have I never heard of this before!! I like to reduce the oil and tahini in my hummus, replacing the liquid with unsweetened coconut milk to thin it out.





Tuscan Bread Salad - my all time favorite salad. It just is. It is so filling, healthy, comforting, and tasty all at once! Is it weird that I eat my salads out of mixing bowls?? A regular bowl just isn't big enough.


Artichoke & Spinach Stuffing: this recipe calls for canned artichokes.  I'm not sure how I feel about the brie in this recipe, I'm on the border about brie. You could sub in any favorite cheese though.






Do you eat any meals out of weird containers?

A regular sized salad makes me starving half an hour later. I need the volume!!
