this week's menu

I thought I would share with you what I bought at the farmers' market and this week's menu. If you're wondering if I have time for anything else besides cooking, I will be running on Sunday and Wednesday and Friday. Yes, it's hard to fit it all in when you get home from work at 5:45 p.m., but if I run I get to eat what I want!

At the Farmers' Market:
Asparagus
Red-leaf bib lettuce from Harmony Valley Farm
Rhubarb
Purple scallions
Crimini mushrooms
Spinach
Baby beets from Jones Valley Farm

Menu: week of 6 June 2009
Saturday: Curried Cream of Potato Soup with homemade Croutons
Sunday: Pizza with oven-roasted grape tomatoes, fresh ricotta and thyme
Monday: Thai lettuce wraps with coconut rice
Tuesday: Tacos of sautéed greens and crimini with chevre (recipe coming soon!)
Wednesday: Roasted asparagus with fried eggs, prosciutto and mustard-creme fraiche sauce
Thursday: Grilled pork tenderloin, with roasted beet, pistachio and goat cheese salad (recipe coming soon!)
Friday: Carry out and movie

P.S. I made a rhubarb crisp for a sweet treat throughout the week.
