Menu Plan for the Week 7/25 – 7/31/11

My heirloom veggie garden goodness is kicking into high gear w zucchini, peppers, carrots, golden beets, English peas and beans. I’m also supplementing from local farmers with family favorites like corn, cabbage, tomatoes and cucumbers until our veggies are ready. Planning to visit a Upick with the family in a couple of weeks. Drooling at the thought of all the lovely jams and sauces I’ll be canning over the next few months!
