Mealplan for 8/8/2010-8/15/2010

This month we are lucky to have my mom staying with us -- work has been super busy, but I want to take advantage of the fact that I have another adult to feed and use it as an excuse to try some new recipes. She does not eat red meat, so having her here is also an interesting challenge for my meal planning. We don't eat that much red meat (although the 350 lb of beef which just arrived in my freezer suggests that our future may shift our habits in this regard...) but we do mix it in to keep things interesting. We hit the farmer's market, Whole Foods, Jewel, and our CSA dropsite today, so our fridge is stuffed with food. I suppose it's a little late to make a meal plan, but better late than never!
