The harvest season continues and we make great use of fresh tomatoes in a wonderfully spiced snacking salsa. For dinner we jet you over to Asia for an awesome crispy tofu and veggies in orange sauce. Another harvest treat is the butternut squash used in a lunchtime quinoa salad. We hope you enjoy this week’s line up. If you have any comments or suggestions please let us know. Have a great week!

The shopping list is broken down by meal for ease of use. We try to include recipes that use the same ingredients more than once so that you don’t end up with food waste. Because of this you’ll see that if an ingredient in the breakfast recipe is also in the dinner recipe it is only listed once. Let us know if you like this way of laying out the shopping list or if you have a better suggestion. If you’ve been following along for a few weeks you’ll notice that many of the ingredients are things that were used in weeks past.
