Sadly, we got off to a slow start with the veggie box this week. We did make delicious Black Bean Burritos with Mango & Fried Lemon on Friday night, but those used up other ingredients we had in our cupboards.
The first real dip into this week's veggie box was Saturday breakfast, when we feasted on poached eggs and juicy, sweet melon.
For a snack on Saturday, we had a few of the figs paired with a bit of blue cheese. Yum...

Later that day, I made my first foray into the world of ratatouille. I used the slightly spicy yellow pepper, the yellow bell pepper, five small tomatoes, the eggplant, the onion, some garlic and I purchased a few zucchini to round it out.
I initially chose the recipe in Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking," but upon more detailed reading of the layers, basting, and use of about 5 cast iron or enamel skillets involved in that recipe, I decided to improvise. We served it with an improvised version of Julia's "Poulet Sauté aux Herbes de Provence," made by my new hubby. C'était délicieux!
