My GF, Locavore-ish Weekly Meal Plan

Despite last night’s heavy snowfall, we trudged out to the farmers market early this morning to pick up some root veggies for this week’s meal plan. I’m excited about tonight’s cooking especially, as I think hubby and I are finally getting close to perfecting our gluten free beer stew. And as soon as we do, I’m planning to share it with you.

Also, as you can see from my freezer stock, I have a ton of staples in the freezer that will help me make quick, cheap, and easy meals this week using some of the local stuff we picked up this morning. With things like Big batches of frozen beans, frozen brown rice, and Frozen Soup Stock, I’m set to make simple soups, stews, and stir fries all week long. Stuff that’s perfect for cold, snowy days!

So here’s what I’m working with this week from the farmers market:

* 5 organic parsnips                            * 3 lbs of organic carrots

* 1 organic radish                                * 5 lbs apples

* 2 organic turnips

(All picked up for just $15)
