Fresh, Local, Seasonal Menu

This month's "Go Ahead Honey, It's Gluten Free" event is being hosted by Cheryl at The Crispy Cook and the theme is seasonal veggies. Since this week is my last chance to enter something (I'll be away the following two) I hit the Green Market in Union Square on Saturday.

I found some great stuff, and if you've never tried ground cherry tomatoes I highly recommend them. They taste like tomato and pineapple together. Lots of vendors had fresh herbs and loads of heirloom vegetables. Check out these sexy veggies I found.

So, this week all the vegetables I'm using, aside from the lemon, lime and ginger, are fresh, local and seasonal. I would like to submit my whole menu, but I think I might just have to choose one dish.

Monday:
Breakfast- Tortilla Roll-Up
Lunch- Beef Burger lettuce wrap and peas
Dinner- Shrimp Cakelets with Grilled Peach Salsa

Tuesday:
Breakfast- Tortilla Roll-Up
Lunch- Pollo Ropa Vieja with Tomatillo Salsa
Dinner- Beef Burger lettuce wrap

Wednesday
Breakfast- Tortilla Roll-Up
Lunch- Beef Burger lettuce wrap and Grilled Peach Salsa

Thursday:
Breakfast- Tortilla Roll-Up
Lunch- Shrimp Cakelets with dipping sauces and peas
Dinner- Beef Burger lettuce wrap

Friday:
Breakfast- Tortilla Roll-Up
Lunch- Pollo Ropa Vieja with Grilled Peach Salsa

Saturday- Take Toni to the Vet and finish up left overs, make burgers for the trainer.

Sunday- Pack for trip, finish anything that's left.
