In the individual bag this week is lettuce, radishes, onions and garlic scape. We actually traded popcorn for lettuce, as we have tons of popcorn. At the market I also bought zucchini, summer squash, fresh spring onions and snap peas. I've been making a salad to take to work every day for a while now so this weeks bag will fill the bill. I bought a chicken from Tea Hills Farm and some pork chops from New Creation farm. I'm planning to marinate and grill the pork chops tomorrow night and serve them with potato-zucchini pancakes.
I made the potato-zucchini pancakes last week for the first time. I grated yukon gold potatoes, zucchini, some onion and garlic. Then added salt, pepper and an egg. I squeezed out most of the liquid and fried them in olive oil. They turned out well enough, that I'm looking forward to making them again this week.
A busy mom faces the challenge of feeding four carnivores and a vegan something healthy and delicious every day.
About Me
- Emily
- Shaker Heights, Ohio, United States
- A busy mother trying to feed my family everyday. Starting from a healthy diet of fresh and organic produce, as much local meat as we can find, and only a little bit of junk food, my husband decided to become a vegan. The adjustment has been more difficult than we could have imagined. As I headed out of town, my 10 year old said, "you can't leave us with him - we are humans and he's a vegan!" Several of us get very crabby if deprived of animal protein, so now the challenge becomes how to feed both humans and vegans at the same table . . .
