Menu Plan 1st-7th July
Another vegetable box arrived on Tuesday. It contained:Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
2 courgettes, 1 cucumber, 1 lettuce, swiss chard, cauliflower
2 peaches, 1 punnet redcurrants, cherries, 3 bananas
I think this may be the worst menu plan I've ever come up with, chiefly because we've invited about 20 people, plus kids, to our house for a barbecue on Saturday (and it had better stay sunny because there's no way they'll all fit in the living room), so we may or may not be left with masses leftover.
Anyway....
Wednesday: Toast with beans and fried eggs
Thursday: Pasta with swiss chard and cabbage
Friday: Leftover corned beef hash
Saturday: Burgers, sausages, chicken and vegetable kebabs, bulgar wheat salad, spicy potatoes, lentil sprout and spring onion salad, crudites and dips, cheese and onion bread, pappy burger rolls, chocolate brownie cake and raspberries.
And there my menu grinds to a halt. We'll eat leftovers till they run out (except for uncooked meat, which can go in the freezer), and then I'll make macaroni cheese with cauliflower and bacon. And hopefully that will take us through to the next vegetable delivery. I suppose we also have some spinach in the garden that could be eaten, along with a lot of herbs (chiefly mint - it's taking over).
Two weeks of menu planning
I'm trying to drag myself out of blog-apathy at the moment, and I don't want incomplete records of the menu planning (in case I want to try and work out what I did with something last time), so this is last week and the current week's menus.Tuesday 16th July's box:
Chard, courgette, 2 red peppers, lettuce, cabbage
2 apples, 2 pears, 2 bananas, 9 apricots
Wednesday: Pasta with tomato sauce (courgette, pepper, onion)
Thursday: Pasta with chard and cream sauce
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday:
Sunday: Lasange with peas and cabbage
Monday: Campfire salmon, chips, peas
Tuesday: Bread and cheese, ham, chutney
Tuesday 23rd July's box:
4 yellow beetroot, 2 courgette, cabbage, kohlrabi, cucumber
4 bananas, 2 pears, 2 peaches, 1 punnet gooseberries
Wednesday: Kohlrabi and beetroot soup, bread
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Out (Dedication Day for camp)
Sunday: Summer squash bake (Sharing Lunch at church)
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Corned beef, cabbage and potato hash
This is the Golden Beetroot. I didn't know what it was, and had to email the supplier to ask them!
Menu Plan 10th-16th June 2009
Yesterday saw the arrival of yet another vegetable box.
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Spinach, bagged oriental salad, courgette, red pepper, kohlrabi
3 bananas, 2 apples, 1 oranges, a small punnet of strawberries
The strawberries frustrate me - they've sent us 16 strawberries in the punnet, and it appears to be worth 5 units of fruit - which doesn't strike me as a particularly good ratio. And we've got strawberries coming out of our ears in the garden. We haven't yet tried the ones that came in the box yesterday (which are from Hereford - hardly local!), but last year's box strawberries were completely tasteless. I may request no strawberries again, like I did last year.
However, on a more exciting note, the kohlrabi they've sent is purple!
A bit different to normal!Anyway, here is the week's initial menu plan:
Wednesday: Wraps with spinach and spicy bean mush (leftover stuffed pepper filling from Monday), served with lentil sprout salad (leftover from yesterday) and tomato-cooked potato and courgette (leftover from yesterday)
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers from freezer - red lentil coconut curry. I'll make up some bulgar wheat to serve with it
Saturday / Sunday: Away for the weekend
Monday: Jacket potatoes with fried red pepper and onion topping
Tuesday: Rice and vegetables with spicy peanut butter sauce
Menu Plan 3rd-9th June 2009
This week's vegetable box contained:Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Cabbage, 2 green peppers, courgette, cucumber, lettuce
2 bananas, 1 lemon, 3 pears, 3 apples, 3 oranges
Menu plan for the week is as follows:
Wednesday: Sausages, herby mashed potatoes, spinach and peas
Thursday: Pasta with cabbage, onion and cheese
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Out at a BBQ
Sunday: Punjabi baked fish, brown rice, salad
Monday: Peppers stuffed with spiced beans and onions, boiled minted potatoes, spinach / salad
Tuesday: Potato, onion and courgette baked with eggs, salad
Menu Plan 27th May - 2nd June
The last box for May arrived yesterday. We're gradually getting through the "hungry gap" now, so things are looking more springlike.
The bottle visible at the bottom of the picture is ginger beer - yesterday was my husband's birthday, and I ordered that as an extra birthday treat for him, and was very worried the order would be mixed up. Thankfully, it wasn't, and he had it with his supper yesterday evening. Apparently it was very good stuff.
Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions
Kohlrabi, cauliflower, green pepper, lettuce, spinach
3 apples, 2 kiwi, 2 pears, 3 oranges, 3 bananas
We've got lots of carrots left from before, and a few potatoes.
My proposed menu plan is:
Wednesday: Out at friends
Thursday: Red lentil coconut curry (carrots, cauliflower, spinach) served with brown rice
Friday: Kohlrabi with peas and potato, served with brown rice
Saturday: Holiday
Sunday: Holiday
Monday: Leftovers (G is visiting a friend for supper)
Tuesday: Pizza topped with pepper, onion and mushrooms
I may need to modify the menu a little to accomodate more potato and less rice. We're not really getting through the potatoes fast enough at the moment. We may have fried potatoes and egg for Saturday breakfast, before we set off on our VERY LONG WALK (about 27 miles, over two days, stopping overnight at a B&B in the middle - not so very long, really).
Menu Plan 20th-26th May
Here is yesterday's vegetable box. The chocolate they sent as a placatory measure because of the repeated mix-ups over flour. Shame I don't like dark chocolate! But I'm happy to cook with it, so it's ok.
They sent:
Potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, onions
2 courgette, 2 mini cucumber, spring greens, green pepper
3 bananas, 3 kiwis, 3 oranges, 3 apples
(As an aside, they have messed up again. They are supposed to send 1 "piece" and 4 "fillers" off a list - they've sent us 4 "fillers" but no "piece". At first I thought the spring greens was the "piece" and they had sent more than one courgette to make the "fillers" up to 4, but it appears not. They've simply left something out. But I don't think I've got the heart to complain again. I am annoyed, though.)
Anyway, in addition to what arrived yesterday, we have some things left from last week: 1/2 courgette, 1 pepper, carrots, and a few potatoes.
So now I'm trying to come up with a plan for this week:
Wednesday: N/A - going out to the cinema with pub supper beforehand
Thursday: N/A - out at Mum's
Friday: Leftovers. Except there aren't any leftovers, so it'll be something like tinned soup.
Saturday: Vegetarian lasange (black beans, pepper, courgette, onion, carrot, tinned tomatoes; white-cheese sauce), served with cabbage
Sunday: Courgette quiche with chips
Monday: Carrot and lentil stew, potatoes, cabbage
Tuesday: Green pepper and onion risotto
I also need to make a cake (chocolate cake, coffee buttercream icing, and walnuts on top) as it's G's birthday on Tuesday. I probably ought to make him a PUDDING as well, because he's rather partial to them. Either a syrup sponge or a baked semolina, depending on whether we have a greater excess of eggs or milk at that stage of the week. And I think I promised him I'd make some oatmeal soda bread at some point over the weekend, too, but that's not very difficult.
Menu Plan 13th-19th May 2009
This week's vegetable box arrived yesterday:
It contained:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Chard, asparagus, broccoli, courgette, 2 small green peppers
3 apples, 4 bananas, 3 oranges, 2 kiwi fruits
We also have some potatoes, mushrooms and onions left from last week.
It is unfortunate that the box company are getting really bad at delivering the correct extra items - I ordered eggs and plain flour and they have deivered eggs and strong white flour, which is not much use. This in addition to sending me brazil nuts rather than self-raising flour the other week is decidedly annoying.
Anyway, disregarding the flour problem, here is the menu plan for the week:
Wednesday: Eggs en cocotte with asparagus, served with boiled potatoes and fried mushrooms
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Pizza topped with courgette, pepper, and mushrooms
Sunday breakfast: Fried potatoes, eggs, mushrooms
Sunday: Pasta with tomato sauce with courgette, pepper and mushrooms
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Pasta with chard and cream sauce
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Chard, asparagus, broccoli, courgette, 2 small green peppers
3 apples, 4 bananas, 3 oranges, 2 kiwi fruits
We also have some potatoes, mushrooms and onions left from last week.

Menu Plan 6th-12th May
We were completely out of vegetables by Monday, much to my mother-in-law's astonishment. She looked in the salad drawer and was startled to find it completely empty. We explained that we always try to use the vegetables up before the next box arrives, and she agreed that that was sensible. However, we were very glad to get another delivery yesterday:
This week's box contains:
Potatoes, onions, mushrooms
Spinach, spring cabbage, garlic, sweet potato, parsnip, cucumber
3 bananas, 3 oranges, 2 apples, 2 pears, 2 kiwi fruit
Apparently they had a problem with the suppliers of the carrots this week, which is why there weren't any. Not that I mind, as they are my least favourite vegetable.
We have the rhubarb they sent last week left, too.
So the plan for this week's food is as follows.
Wednesday: Red lentil coconut curry with rice, followed by rhubarb crumble
Thursday: Cabbage and cheese pasta, followed by rhubarb crumble
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Soup. Either tinned or fresh parsnip soup, depending on time available
Sunday: Sausages with boiled potatoes, leftover golden carrot bake (in the freezer), and cabbage/peas
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Veggie Burrito Bake
Two of the recipes this week are new ones that I've not made before (the Red lentil coconut curry, and the veggie burrito bake). Both out of my Simply in Season cookery book that I got for Christmas. I'm looking forward to trying out something new again!
Menu Plan 29th April - 5th May
I'm late doing this again this week. Here's the picture of this week's box.
I ordered eggs and flour to come, as well as the bread and the box that we get every week. Owing to a technical glitch, they sent eggs and brazil nuts - not so helpful! It should get sorted out next week, thankfully.
So, the contents of the box was as follows:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Spring cabbage, celeriac, rocket, radishes, lettuce
Rhubarb, 3 apples, 3 pears, 2 oranges, 2 bananas
We've got my husband's parents coming to stay today (Thursday) until Tuesday, so I'm planning "posher" food than I would normally and will need to supplement the box to accomodate two more people. I don't think it's fair to make them eat strange lentil/rice/bean dishes too much.
So, the menu for the week is:
Wednesday: Pasta with tomato sauce (leftover) and salad
Thursday: Plaice, boiled potatoes, steamed cabbage, and parsley sauce
Friday: Celeriac soup
Saturday: Barbecue. Chicken and vegetable kebabs, burgers, and a couscous salad
Sunday breakfast: Sausages and mushrooms
Sunday dinner: Beef wellington, potatoes, cabbage, peas and carrots
Monday breakfast: Apple oatmeal pancakes
Monday dinner: Probably eating out - not sure yet
Tuesday (just the two of us again): Gillygate bean casserole
I'll need to visit the farm shop in town for additional vegetables (chiefly peppers, and the usual supplementary apples), and I plan to go to the butchers in my mother's village (30 minutes walk) on Saturday morning to get the meat. They make the best sausages I've ever found, and I think it would be nice to offer them to my father-in-law.
Menu Plan 22nd-28th April 2009
It seems weird to post the menu plan on a Thursday, but it's taken me a while to get this posted. Didn't even manage to get the pictures of the camera yesterday.
The box that arrived on Tuesday contained:
Potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms
Parsnip, purple sprouting broccoli, avocado, 2 green peppers, 2 courgettes
2 oranges, 2 pears, 4 bananas, 3 kiwis, 1 lemon
It seems a little early to have courgettes again - I think they're from Spain, like the peppers, but never mind. The weather's certainly warm enough for summer. So the menu for the week is:
Wednesday: Lamb chops with roasted potatoes and parsnips and steamed purple sprouting broccoli
Thursday: Visiting Mum
Friday: Pasta with tomato based sauce of courgette, pepper, onion, served with mushrooms
Saturday: Jacket potatoes with cheesy carrot topping
Sunday: Pineapple upside-down-pudding - we're going out for lunch and have been asked to take a dessert
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Pizza with pepper, courgette, onion and mushroom
We also have some lentil sprouts that I've succeeded in growing, so may have some of those with the pasta tomorrow night. Or possibly put them in sandwiches for lunches.
Menu Plan 14th-21st April 2009
Another vegetable box. It took me ages to draw up the menu plan - I think I've got out of practice on holiday!
We received:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Pak choi, wild rocket, garlic, green pepper, leeks
2 lemons, 3 bananas, 2 apples, 3 oranges, 3 pears
So, the plan for the week:
Tuesday (last night): Burgers, boiled potatoes, steamed carrots and pak choi
Wednesday: Pasta with pak choi and cream sauce
Thursday: Pizza with mushrooms, pepper and onion
Friday: We're going to a quiz night and will be fed soup there
Saturday: Pork chops with Golden Carrot Bake
Sunday: Cheesy leeks with ham served with boiled potatoes
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Tuscan bean and pasta soup
Menu Plan 25th February-3rd April
The last box before we go away arrived yesterday! We're going on holiday on 4th April, so I've cancelled next week's box to prevent any terrifying gluts of food going mouldy.
This week we received:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
2 leeks, kale, bagged salad, swede, avocado
2 oranges, 3 apples, 2 pears, 3 bananas, 2 kiwi fruit
We have a few things left from before: carrots (pre-chopped), pak choi stalk (chopped into sticks), lots of potatoes, 1 leek.
Wednesday: Lentil stew with potatoes (carrots and pak choi in stew)
Thursday: Buckwheat galettes filled with leeks
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Jacket potatoes with baked beans and cheese
Sunday: Bean and vegetable crumble (carrots, swede, leek, onion, black-eye beans)
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Nigerian Red Kidney Bean Stew with potatoes (or rice if no potatoes left at this stage)
Wednesday: Wraps filled with refried beans and savoury kale, served with leek if any left
Thursday: Lentil and swede curry with rice
Friday: Leftovers
Menu Plan 18th-24th March 2009
Here we go again.
Veg received this week:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Pak choi, 2 leeks, brocolli, jerusalem artichokes, 2 parsnips
3 bananas, 2 oranges (one was mouldy, however), 3 clementines, 4 pears, 1 lemon
Trying to work out what to make this week seems more challenging than normal, for some reason. I think what I've concluded is thus:
Wednesday: Leek and onion risotto
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers (stew for G, poelle paysanne for me)
Saturday: Creamy Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
Sunday: Parsnip nutty bake with pak choi and soy sauce (I may add a layer of leeks to the parsnip bake)
Monday: Leftovers (parsnip bake, I expect, or else tinned soup)
Tuesday: Brocolli-eggs florentine (normally Eggs Florentine involves eggs, spinach and cheese sauce, but I saw a version in a magazine that used brocolli instead of the spinach).
I'm also planning to pickle the 2 lemons we now have in the house, as an experiment.
Menu Plan 11th-17th March 2009
Another week, another box delivery.
This week, we received:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Green pepper, celeriac, kale, 3 tomatoes, white sprouting brocolli
3 apples, 4 bananas, 2 kiwis, 3 blood oranges
We also have various bits from last week:
3 beetroot, 1 cauliflower, 1 brocolli stalk, carrots, potatoes, onions
My planned menu for the week is as follows:
Wednesday: Bean and vegetable stew (kidney beans, tinned tomatoes, brocolli and cauliflower stalks, carrots, celeriac) served with boiled potatoes and steamed cauliflower
Thursday: Sausages, boiled potatoes, white sprouting brocolli and onions in barbecue sauce
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: Mashed pinto beans and Savory Kale (from my SImply in Season book) in tortilla wraps
Sunday: Vegetarian shepherds pie
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Pizza topped with mushroom, onion and pepper
The stew I assembled last night, and is in the oven waiting on the timer. I realise I've forgotten to put any chilli powder in it though, so I hope it won't matter too much if that gets added nearer the end than the beginning of cooking.
Menu Plan 4th-10th March
Lots of goodies arrived in the box last night.
Potatoes, carrots, red onions, mushrooms
Green pepper, 3 tomatoes, beetroot, cauliflower, brocolli
4 bananas, 6 small oranges, 5 apples
We have a minor glut of potatoes, carrots and red onions going on in my vegetable cupboard, too.
So, my plan for the week's menu is as follows (we have guests staying the weekend):
Wednesday: Cauliflower cheese and boiled potatoes
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday lunch: Beetroot and lentil salad, game pie (or similar- from Farm Shop)
Saturday tea: Welsh Cakes
Saturday supper: Gillygate bean casserole served with brocolli and carrots
Sunday lunch: Lasagne (using beef mince, pepper, carrot, mushrooms and canned tomatoes in the meat sauce)
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: "Lurking vegetable soup" - not sure what will be left by then! Brocolli stalk, carrots, potatoes, maybe some split dried peas
I also ordered a "meat pack" to arrive with the box, which was very exciting. Here it is:
We received beef mince (1lb), 2 lamb chops, 2 pork chops, 2 beef burgers, 7 sausages. I repackaged the sausages into 3 and 4 as we don't need 7 at one meal, and have put it all in the freezer. That should easily keep us going till we go on holiday at Easter.
Menu Plan 25th February-3rd March
Another box delivery yesterday:
We received:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Leek, celeriac, parsnip, 2 green peppers, bagged salad
1 pomegranete, 1 grapefruit, 2 oranges, 3 apples, 3 bananas
We still have in the house:
Mushrooms, carrots
We should be at home rather more this week, and I have a friend visiting for half the weekend. I have a plot to empty the freezer so I can defrost it on Sunday, as it's beginning to get a bit clogged with ice again. The fridge could probably use a clean, too.
Wednesday: Parsnip and apple curry soup, baked pancakes in orange sauce (because yesterday was Pancake Day and we have some left)
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday: White chilli and rice
Sunday: Enchilladas
Monday: Potato and leek soup
Tuesday: Pizza with pepper, mushroom and red onion
I'm also planning to make some carrot cake - I boiled up and mashed lots of them yesterday, so the plan is to make two loaves of cake, one for us, and one to take to the party we're going to on Saturday evening.
Menu Plan 18th-24th February 2009
The vegetables arrived for the week. Roll call:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Parsnips (yay!), sweet potato, tomatoes, cabbage, fennel
3 mandarins, 3 bananas, 2 apples, 1 avocado, 1 lemon
We actually away for the vast majority of the coming week, so I've only got to plan a couple of meals.
Wednesday: out
Thursday: Jacket potatoes (we've ended up with some onion and garlic dip left from Youth Group which needs eating, so I thought I could mix it with the innards and put grated cheese on top and grill them) with cabbage
Friday: Bean and vegetable stew (carrots, onion, black-eye beans, sweet potato, tinned tomatoes)
Saturday / Sunday: staying with friends
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Parsnip nutty bake
Menu Plan 11th-17th February 2009
Yesterday's box arrival brought:Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Butternut squash, red cabbage, leeks, brocolli, tomatoes
4 minneolas, 2 bananas, 3 kiwi fruit, 1 lemon, 2 huge apples
We've also got some beetroot and lots of potatoes left from last week.
Wednesday: Red Flannel Hash (beetroot, potatoes, bean-paste, onion); Syrup Spong Pudding
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftovers
Saturday lunch: Chinese Style Chicken; Black Cap Batter Pudding with Ginger Syrup Sauce
Saturday supper: Jacket potatoes with braised red cabbage
Sunday breakfast: Apple oatmeal pancakes
Sunday lunch: Macaroni with leeks and bacon
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Potato and squash au gratin
Menu Plan 4th-10th February
Despite the fact that the ground was covered in snow and the weather people were threatening, the box people didn't cover our vegetable box over with plastic yesterday, which I was a little annoyed about. Nothing was harmed, but I'd ordered two bags of flour, which comes in paper bags and wouldn't really survive the wet!
We've got what I think is rather a good selection of veggies this week.
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Swede, beetroot, bagged oriental salad, Brussels tops, Brussels sprouts
3 bananas, 3 minneolas, 1 lemon, 6 apples
We also have a few things left in the house from before: 1/2 a celeriac, 1/2 a green pepper, a few carrots, and lots of potatoes
Wednesday: We're eating out tonight, since I've got to go to a meeting in Bottisham and can't get home beforehand.
Thursday: At Mum's (NB - cook Friday's supper this evening while making sandwich lunches)
Friday: Pasta with onion, brussels tops and cheese
Saturday: Rabbit pie with mashed swede and carrot, brussels sprouts; Sultana and butterscotch pudding
Sunday breakfast: Fried potatoes, eggs and mushrooms
Sunday lunch: Bean and veg stew (black-eye beans, celeriac, swede, green pepper - wonder if I can use the beetroot vinegar left from the Pickled Beetroot we ate over Christmas)
Monday: Leftovers
Tuesday: Beetroot and lentil salad with Jacket potatoes
Last night I cooked pizza, and I was brave enough to put mushrooms on it and eat a (very small) amount of salad with it. Two things that I don't eat. The mushrooms were fine, as I couldn't tell they were there, but I'm still rather unsure about salad. Still working on that one....
Menu Plan 28th January - 3rd February
I think the people who run our box got the wrong memo about the month this week. They sent us:
Potatoes, carrots, onions, mushrooms
Celeriac, chicory, bagged salad, tomatoes, green pepper
4 bananas, 4 minneolas, 3 giant apples, 2 kiwi fruits
It may not be as cold here as it is for a lot of people at the moment, but it is till definitely winter. I want to make lots of soups and stews, not eat masses of salad! Not to mention that my reasoning behind getting box is largely to do with eating seasonal food - the only seasonal vegetable we've got is celeriac! I think next week I shall request my vegetables precisely, so that I get some I can actually make dinner out of.
Anyway, this is what I'm planning to make this week:
Wednesday: Lentil and celeriac curry with rice and salad
Thursday: Out
Friday: Leftover curry
Saturday: Cassoulet with sausages (guests coming for this meal)
Sunday: Vegetarian shepherds pie
Monday: Leftover shepherds pie
Tuesday: Pizza with pepper, onion and mushrooms
Hopefully that will work out alright. I'll need to get some celery and a leek from the Farm Shop to do that, and may also buy a small cabbage to provide cooked side vegetables for the week .... not sure yet.
