I live in San Francisco, and my husband and I get a Terra Firma Farm CSA veggie box once a week. It has forced me to be mindful about what I cook, and to explore new recipes -- what do you do with persimmons? However, I find that most weeks I have some piece of greenery left wilting in the crisper, some piece of fruit molding in the fruit bowl. This blog signals a new commitment to using up all of the veggies. I will share recipes and ideas, and hope that you will share yours as well.

Sunday, December 18: Soup & Salad

This meal was the perfect antidote to our over indulgent weekend.


Curried Cauliflower Soup:


I stumbled upon this recipe about 5 years ago, and it has gotten me through many winter veggie boxes. It is rich and warm, but actually fairly low impact. Gotta love Martha!


Mixed Greens Salad with Mandarins and Pumpkin Seeds:


Trying to get creative with mandarins...We have several dozen to get through.


Still to go from this week's box:
- 2 butternut squash
- 10 mandarins
- 1/2 dozen Asian pears
- 1 bag arugula
- 1 bag Red Russian kale
- 3 heads broccoli
- 3 heads garlic


Leftover from last week (!):
- 1/2 bag greens
- 1 head cabbage
- 3 carrots
- 3 lemons
- bunch of oranges
- acorn squash
