Meals for our Farmers 2019

Starting on Thursday June 27, 2019, I prepare meals for our farmers and apprentices once a week!  One is vegetarian, one is gluten free, and one can't have eggs.  I do the cooking in my kitchen and deliver the food to them at noon.  Most things I deliver in 1/2 gallon glass Ball jars.  Others, like stuffed peppers and meatballs, in stainless baking dishes.

Listed below are the weekly menus I've prepared, with links to some of the recipes.

Usually, I'm in a mad scramble on the day I'm delivering the food and I don't have time to take photos of what I've prepared.  If there is a photo below it's from another day, when I prepared the same dish for us and remembered to take a picture!

Last years' menus were listed from earliest to latest.  This year, I'm going to list the most recent first so you (I) can see what's coming up.  I'm going to use last year's menus as a guide, since they incorporated what was available in the farm store at that time; but since I'm starting 2 weeks later this year, I'll need to make adjustments.

Another farm member, Tatum Joy Hammer, brought them the following but I don't have dates so I'm listing them all together:

1/2 gallon spaghetti sauce with meat
