This week was the first farm frost. Last of the tomatoes, last of the summer squashes, basil and other summer lovers all done.
My list is still impressive however. :) Carrots, celery, curly kale, corn, Choggia beets (sweet) and golden beets, parsley, dill, cilantro, and mint, garlic, Rose Finn and Ozette potatoes, broccoli, parsnips, rutabagga, and a whole pound of chantrelle mushrooms. Traded for: bell peppers, raspberries, pears, chicken legs, chicken wings, and farm fresh eggs.
Menu for this week:
New template from here. Isn't it cute?

Hey Val, I have several large zucchini that I had no idea what to do with! Thanks so much for the idea and the recipe. My son is so excited to try it! But I can't seem to find invisible kool aid. Where do you get it? Tricia

What a great list of food! So green and colorful. We are a few weeks out from frost....but everything is starting to go brown....

Garden Tyme: I got it at a weird random trip to Winco. lol... But I haven't seen it anywhere else. You can get it online easily. I have found a bunch on amazon. Here is a link:

Most of them should be posted on a menu monday. I try to post whenever I switch. :) I like finding new ones though as it helps my kids realise a new one is up. They have gotten really good at making sure to use what is on the menu. It has been great!
GardenTyme: I dehydrated all the raspberries that escaped the toddler. I have about a quart for muffins later this winter. :)
