This week's real food meal plan and agenda focus on beans, zucchini and camp! Lots of good food and fun.

After traveling, a holiday weekend and having my husband home on vacation all week I’m not sure what day it is! It has felt like Saturday for a week straight. I suppose it’s time to get back into somewhat of a routine now.

Our week will be a bit different since my oldest is going to camp. It sure will be quiet around here! And I have to get back into lunch packing routine. Not my idea of summer fun.

In The Kitchen

Summer produce is in full swing. Last week we picked and preserved sixty pounds of cherries! We may all have cherry juice in our veins after all of the snacking too. Now our beans are ready. So I’ll have to start freezing beans a couple times a week. Zucchini is starting as well. Zucchini bread, zucchini cake, zucchini crackers,…it’s all good. My kids would be so happy if I make their favorite – chocolate zucchini cupcakes!

In addition to produce preservation I have some baking on my kitchen list this week. My projects include:

On The Menu

I have a feeling this week is going to be busier than I like. Hopefully I can still keep delicious meals on the table. Maybe I can do some cooking classes and get my son to help with meal prep.

Here is our real food meal plan for the week. What’s on your menu? Any fresh produce that you’re highlighting?
