THOUGHTS ON THIS PAST WEEK’S FOOD:
Once again, prepping stuff ahead of time made using up our share so much easier. We had all the salad greens washed and ready to go.

We are starting to enter the days where no matter how wonderful the lettuce and other salad greens are, it’s easy to get a little bored with salads. I tried to keep them to an every other day schedule so that we didn’t get sick of them.

The anchovy chicken is one of my favorite quick recipes. If anchovies scare you, this is a great recipe to try. The anchovies just add a salty, briny taste. Every once in a while, you might get a hint of fishiness, but it’s incredibly mild. My daughter loves it. The other two recipes we tried were really good.

I hope you all had another great week filled with great food!

our only hope.”
