Menu Monday

Our family tries to eat local and healthy. We have been creating our menus for a few years now because it lets us try new things, keeps us organized and not stressed about meals, helps me journal my food to watch my weight, and we both love to cook, so why not.
We just joined Los Poblanos Organics CSA Program. My kids and I started going down to their lavendar field in the North Valley, and quickly became a fan of their fields and animals!
So now we plan our menus based on whats in the "box" that we pick up on Monday afternoons.
