This week's farmers market meal plan + recipes — 4th week of June

Happy Father’s Day!

I may not be a dad, but I did get a great gift: My friend kindly gifted me her Halal Pastures CSA, so it’s time to play with some bulk ultra-seasonal ingredients!

I have more bundles of garlic scapes than I could use in two weeks.

My $168.95 shopping list

My haul breaks down to 49 servings of meals and snacks — $3.44 per serving. My friend was out of town and couldn’t pick up her $35 CSA box, so she kindly gifted it to me. The CSA makes up the bulk of this week’s produce. Otherwise,
