Local Harvest Challenge 2013 – What’s on the Menu? (on a budget)

After thinking about it, this week is definitely going to be ‘budget’ challenge. As I mentioned it is harvest week and with extra very hungry bodies in the house, it is going to be interesting! So here goes, in no particular order, this is what I am planning for the week with what I have available in my home garden (not the farm), from our fruit and veggie box, meat from our local butcher, bread from one of our local bakeries, a few other bits (dairy etc) from a couple of other local family run small businesses and from what is already in my pantry/fridge……..

Of course things may and probably will change (considering all hands will be on deck for Apple Harvest, not leaving a lot of time for the meals) but this is the grand plan 🙂

This is the plan for what we will be eating for the week:

Breakfasts
Toast
Fruit Salad
Yoghurt
Homemade Honey Toasted Muesli/Porridge

Morning Tea
Muffins/Scones/Cake/Fruit

Lunches
Sandwiches

Autumn Soup w/Pork Meatballs
Bangers and Mash w/Brussel Sprouts
Slow Cooked Stew (still to be confirmed)

Desserts (in no order)
