Week 13 Menu Plan

Salad Days Ahead!

Featuring braising greens, onions, mature broccoli, carrots, and radishes

Welcome to July! It’s hot this July 4^th weekend, and we mostly plan to be around home. Salads are good cooling fare, and easily prepared. Strawberry shortcake is traditional, as is some sort of BBQ—although we’re not exactly traditional, and in fact don’t have a grill at the new house yet. A bounty of radishes means it’s time to eat them both raw and cooked. And the spicy greens can be eaten along with the other greens. I'm trying out the slow cooker again this week for some simple, low-prep recipes.

I will try to post my recipe for 30 chocolate dipped strawberries this week, along with a home video we made. This week’s strawberries, because of the un-seasonal rain, are mostly too fragile and soft to dip.
