Menu Plan: October 26
With the end of farmers markets in sight here in gloomy ‘ol Michigan (yes, it’s been gloomy for like 3 weeks now!), we’ll be eating as much of the summer goodness that’s left while beginning to use what I’ve preserved over the last few months. Most of the meat is from the freezer as well, finishing off what we have! (Come on honey – let’s get some venison in the freezer! Nope – no pressure here)

I also love the fact that because I buy so many whole foods in bulk (I’ll also be going to the whole foods store on Monday), that my grocery list will be rather short for this menu plan. All I need to buy for this week is milk and eggs from the farm, butter, cheese, broccoli, carrots, celery, lettuce, potatoes, and rice! Short trips to the store are always a welcome occurrence when I have to bring to littles with me!
