Sweet Corn– Sustainable
Lodi Apples– Sustainable
Beets with Greens– Sustainable
Raspberries – Sustainable
Kale – Sustainable
Collards – Sustainable
Cucumbers– Sustainable
Basil– Sustainable
Green Beans – Sustainable
Onions – Sustainable
Yellow Squash – Sustainable

Here's the plan:

Blueberries and raspberries: Snacks for the girls, of course!
Broccoli: Roasted up as a side over the weekend
Apples: Snacks for a trip we are taking soon
Lettuce and Kale: Lunch Salads for me
Collards: I still haven't made the Collard Chips from last week, and there's still a container of Kale chips left to eat. I'm not sure what to make... any ideas?
Onions and Garlic- In everything? I use them all. the. time.
Green Beans: I'm thinking of making this salad Saturday for dinner, but with a different dressing. We have a fun BBQ event at our lake in the afternoon, so this is a perfect, light dinner.
Sweet Corn: Boiled up to eat over the weekend. The girls could LIVE on corn on the cob
Beets: I separated the greens from the beets themselves. I'm saving the beets for next week, but the greens will get cooked up with the collards... possibly.
Basil: Friday is always Pizza Friday in our house, so I'm thinking some basil pizza is in order. I may try dehydrating some, too.
Cucumbers: Snacks for the girls... Juliet adores them!
Yellow Squash: I broiled the squash from last week, so I may still try this recipe out: Summer Squash Gummy Candy.
