Mostly Grain Free Menu Plan

After a busy weekend that left the house in shambles I need a few easy meals this week so that I can get caught up on spring cleaning. I’m not complaining, though. I was able to spend a couple of hours digging, weeding and planting cabbage, kale, swiss chard and lettuce yesterday. I am sun burnt and sore but it feels so good.

Our area is still not quite ready for lots of local produce, but the farmer’s markets will be opening within a week or two and I can’t wait to get my hands on some fresh asparagus. Only a few more weeks until our CSA share starts up as well. Can’t wait!
