Serious Eats: Talk

Need advice on menu planning (Cooking with a Friend Series)

Posted by Jen Maiser, April 17, 2009

Hi all -

I am writing a series for Serious Eats in which I menu plan with a friend and we cook together each week. The general goal is to be able to pre-cook everything on Sunday or prep the meal so that it's easy to assemble on the day of eating.

This week, I bought a CSA box for our vegetable portion (list below), and am trying to decide on menu items that will be good for next week -- any ideas?

Also - has anyone had luck with pre-cooking and re-heating frittata or other egg-y dishes?

The vegetables:

Agretti
Leeks
Nantes Carrots
Green Garlic
Little Gem Lettuces
Sunflower Sprouts
Fennel
Meyer Lemons
Spring Shallots
Chard
Cardoon
Mint

Both of us are omnivores and eat all meats and proteins --

Thank you!
