Your March Menu, Part Two

Here's What To Cook For Breakfast, Lunch, and Supper

Hello my friends!

My greenhouse accidentally hit 123° on Sunday, quickly shriveling up my thriving cabbage and broccoli starts that cannot cope with such extremes. Not many plants appreciate such temperatures.

It was a great reminder to me the amount of effort that goes into growing food: from choosing the right varieties to grow, to mending the soil, to tending to starts, to keeping the greenhouse the right temperature. One can’t miss a beat. The amount of touch points from seed to harvest is almost incalculable, especially for the average home grower without efficient machinery and techniques.

My biceps, stirrup hoe, and knowledge are the best tools at my disposable and what makes garden harvests possible. But the end goal remains the same, regardless of what tools are used: grow delicious food.

I know many of you are are in the same boat this time of year, eager to get your hands in the soil and get this year’s food production started. It’s important to remember that as home-gardeners, and home-cooks, each piece of the process is important. We don’t want to make delicious recipes with sub-par food and we don’t want to grow delicious food, only to prepare it in a sub-par way.

To be frank, there’s just too much to enjoy on the table to suffer bad food (or bad food production).

So let’s continue to put our effort in where it matters! On our land, on our table, and into our bodies. To make your day-in-and-day-out a little easier, I’m excited to offer the second half of this month’s menu plan to you!

As a quick reminder, we offer our paid newsletter supporters two menus each month. Each printable menu will cover 10-days worth of seasonal meals and will include notes on when to mix sourdough, soak beans, etc. Recipes are linked to blog posts or YouTube videos, as applicable.

Also worth noting, every Cooking Community member also gets access to our menus over on our app. So whether you support The Elliot Homestead here or there, we’ve got you covered. Over in our Cooking Community, we offer 5 new recipes each month, along with instructional cooking videos for each one and an exclusive, private online social community of home-cooks.

Be encouraged! From-scratch meals take effort, perhaps even a little bit more than you’re used to. But that doesn’t mean cooking meals from-scratch needs to overrun your kitchen or life. It’s doable. I promise.

Here’s to a delicious start of Spring… let’s cook!
