It's fall break this week and we are going to stay with family, which means I get a break from cooking! Here's what I'm making at home and making ahead to eat on the car ride.
Things I need to use up:
yogurt (other than that my fridge is essentially empty!)
garden stuff: lots of pears!, cucumber, tomatoes, lettuce, squash, melons
Monday: Chicken & Rice + Roasted Butternut Squash + Fresh Pears (this is October's cooking class recipe, it's not to late to signup if you haven't yet!)
