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.

Tuesday, December 20: Pizza Night!

I have given up on roll-it-out frozen pizza dough. It takes forever to defrost, and who remembers to take it out of the freezer in the morning? Not this signorina! Cornmeal crusts all the way!


Chicken, Broccoli, and Kalamata Olive Pizza:
After the dough fiasco, Harry and I were so hungry for this pizza we forgot to take a picture! You'll just have to imagine cornmeal crust spread with tomato paste, sauteed chicken, steamed broccoli, garlic, and chopped Kalamata Olives, smothered in mozzarella cheese. Delicious!


Arugula, Carrot & Pine Nut Salad:


The title says it all. I should have used lemon in the dressing, but I forgot. Does anyone have any good salad dressing recipes with lemon juice? I should try something new!




Still to go from this week's box:
- 2 butternut squash
- 10 mandarins
- 1/2 dozen Asian pears
- 1/2 bag arugula
- 3 heads garlic (still working on this fall's collection)


Leftover from last week (!):
- 1/2 bag greens
- 1 head cabbage
- 3 lemons

- bunch of oranges
