This week I am using meats and proteins from the pantry and freezer. The produce will come from my CSA basket which is delivered on Monday, and I am determined to bake this week! I haven’t baked breads since the spring, and I am going to bake bread this week even though it will be in the high 90s and low 100s all week. I have sourdough starter going right now, and am going to do play with that this week, as well as making our standard whole wheat and multi-grain breads. I’ll do breads as needed this week, not scheduling a specific day for baking like I used to…..my days are too full to do that. I’d rather bake when I really want to 
So, here’s the menu plan for this week:
Sunday, 9/20
- soups leftover from the youth parent lunch meeting today (I was SOOO glad to have leftovers! )
- bread
- salad
Monday, 9/21
- beef tamales
- beans
- mexican rice
- salad
- corn on cob or other veggies
Tues, 9/22
- roasted turkey
- cornbread
- smashed potatoes or potato salad
- veggies
- salad
Wed, 9/23
- easy tostada casserole
- green salad
- fruit
Thurs, 9/24
- panko crusted salmon filets (using freshly caught salmon from a friend of ours!)
- quinoa pilaf
- veggies
Friday, 9/25
- caprese salad
- spaghetti with marinara or bolognese sauce
- sourdough french bread
- cupcakes or brownies for dessert

Hi Lori,
This is so strange.You have been on mine alot lately and then tonight there you popped up. Isn’t God good? I am enjoying getting caught up with you. I am baking bread this week too.It has been a rough year. First in Sept 08 we took the direct hit from hurricane Ike. Then in Jan 09 we lost Dave;s Dad. Then in Feb Dave got really sick and in May came very close to dying. He had major surgrey and we are starting the road to recovery.
I look forward to keeping in touch with you.
Hugs,
Elizabeth
