This week started out with another Game Day and I was inspired to go with an Indian theme for the meal.  Everything was delicious; I just wish that I had tripled the Butter Chicken instead of doubling it!  

The rest of the week is geared around putting a dent in the vegetables that have accumulated in the house.  Due to our full share of vegetables for two weeks I’ve had to work harder at using everything up and, thanks to the hardiness of winter vegetables, I’ve got quite a stockpile of winter squashes, sweet potatoes, and onions.  I’ll be using up the less hardy vegetables in meals 4, 5, and 6.  

Meal 7 may or may not be another Game Day.  I’ll update the meal plan when I figure out what’s going on!

Here’s my photo evidence of the vegetable stockpiling I’ve been doing.  This doesn’t include the squashes – spaghetti x2, acorn x4, buttercup, butternut, and sunshine.
