I did some extra cleaning for the turn of the year, but that’s not what this post is about.
Maybe you noticed I haven’t been writing much lately; I even stopped (b)logging my weekly vegetable haul. Furthermore, I failed to make photos since December. O_o I guess I fell into some sort of winter slump.
CSA season ended the week before Christmas but there are still many greens left in the fridge… Not that fresh any more. :\ So now that the new year has begun I’m resolved to take up menu planning again — and actually started a few days ago. The pantry and refrigerator need to be emptied of 2012’s remains!

November 2012 CSA vegetables (week 45-48)
In stock
Veggies
- Pumpkin
- Parsnip
- Potatoes
- Carrots

Good to see your weekly menus again :) I am in a bit of a blogging slump myself. But I will be back :) From next week, I will start with menu planning again :)

Glad to see you back to menu planning! It’s inspiring, making me want to stick to my meal planning as well. Which is going pretty well so far, I’ve almost got next week covered as well (but then again I’m not committed to a CSA bag at the moment). With a full working week for the next 4 months, I need to plan ahead, or succumb to either junk food or too expensive healthy food…
And I need to get Ecofabulous!
