I had a beautiful fennel bulb from my veg box and my very good friend Anke had raved about this asparagus, fennel, lime dish, so I figured I’d pick up some asparagus and lime and give this a whirl. Anke has impeccable taste, so I knew this would be a winner and our little household…

luscious laban
I had some beautiful courgette/zucchini in my veg box this week and I’ve been on a “try new things” kick, so I decided to try a recipe by a chef named Noor, who is part of Ottolenghi’s test kitchen. She has been spending her lockdown in Bahrain and has been sharing excellent and easy lockdown…
lockdown tabbouleh
I had stunning lemons and some gorgeous tomatoes in my veg box, as well as a whole lotta curly parsley to use up, since I just got some beautiful flat parsley in my veg box this week, so I decided to try my hand at tabbouleh using what I had in the kitchen: 2 bunches…
broccoli, kale, and giant couscous
Since we’ve been having a stretch of hot days, I’ve been so happy for the greens in my veg box that have gone into some simple salads. This is baby kale, broccoli, and giant couscous salad. You can use any smallish noodley things like orzo or tiny pasta shapes, but I sorta love giant couscous…
beans on toast
Well, not your usual beans on toast. I had some beautiful baby kale in my veg box and decided to sauté it in some olive oil with a shallot, a very small can of cannellini beans, some fresh rosemary and sage. When it was all soft and mostly done, I added some Aleppo pepper, a…

It is Friday. I had some really nice oranges in my veg box. You know what you can do with oranges? Make some really nice juice. Nothing says happy like some freshly squeezed orange juice at breakfast. You know what else? After 5pm, you can add some Campari and have some REALLY nice juice. And…

roasted mustard potatoes and carrots
It is Sunday and our little household decided to make a Sunday roast. We also decided to try out Smitten Kitchen’s mustard potatoes and we were SO GLAD we did because they were awesome! Here is the link to her recipe: mustard-roasted potatoes We didn’t have everything she listed, so here is our adapted version:…
olive, tomato, and potato stew
My friend was raving about this Anna Jones recipe with potatoes, tomatoes, olives, and feta. I finally got around to trying it, since I had potatoes in my veg box and I figured it might be nice over some rocket/arugula that I also had in my veg box. Yah, it is absolutely amazing. Seriously. This…
happy mash
I went to bed thinking about colcannon (a bit of Irish happiness made of creamy mashed potatoes and cabbage) and woke up thinking of colcannon, so decided to see if I could make something like it for lunch. This isn’t exactly colcannon. Well, it isn’t colcannon at all really, since I decided to branch out…
