MENU MONDAY - 6/5/17

We have roasted radishes on the menu this week because everyone loves them. They get scarfed in about 30 seconds, so I bought four bunches last time ... and 12 bunches this time!

NEW RECIPES FROM LAST WEEK

COOKING IN ADVANCE (These are often spontaneous projects, so they'll include things we did at the last minute the previous week and/or plan on doing in the upcoming one.)
kidney beans in the crockpot for the freezer
* peanut butter
seasoned mix of black & pinto beans (crockpot, freezer)

BREAKFAST
* toasted coconut & pineapple granola as cold cereal / smoothies
* egg & veggie scramble

DINNER
* leftovers (every Sunday so that we can have a day off from cooking)

Notes: Any chicken breasts, 93/7 ground beef, applewood smoked ham, or pork tenderloins in our menus are from Zaycon Fresh. We've been making bulk purchases from them for few years and have been pleased with their products.
