Soup is a good way to use up random bits and bobs that you don’t know what to do with. This soup is a result of all my orange bits and bobs from my veg box: some carrots, half a sweet potato, one lonely potato (who isn’t orange, I know), and a small pile of…

sad dogs made happier
I haven’t found a great tofu dog yet, so if I’m having sausage on a bun, I really am looking for a good topping to compensate for the overwhelming meh. Turns out, a smoked paprika cabbage topping makes a world of difference to a sad tofu dog. In my veg box I had a small…
sweet potato kale salad
In my veg box I had some great sweet potatoes and some flower sprouts, which is a cross between kale and Brussels sprouts. I decided to make a warm salad by roasting the sweet potatoes, steaming the flower sprouts, brown rice, and making a peanut dressing. This isn’t exactly quick and uses a lot of…
cream of broccoli soup
I’m on a bit of a soup kick at the moment. What I wanted was fast cream of broccoli soup. I figured maybe it would cook up faster if I blitzed my broccoli, onion, garlic, and parsley in a food processor first. And I think it did. If you don’t get lovely veg box broccoli,…
creamy pasta

mushroom soup
My veg box had some gorgeous mushrooms, potatoes, and onions which made me think mushroom soup might be nice! You’ll need a lot of sliced mushrooms (maybe 200g), an diced onion, a chopped potato, some olive oil, a couple of stock cubes, the dairy you like (I used oat milk, some nutritional yeast, lemon juice,…
lettuce and tomatoes are more than just sandwich fillers
Lettuce and tomatoes are more than just good sandwiches fillers. My veg box has awesome lettuce and tomatoes that really shine on their own, and make for a quick packed lunch that comes together in about 5 mins. I chopped them up and added them to a ready-made grains package (wheat berries, red rice, freekeh,…
bad photo soup
Easy soup, bad photography. I’m not sure why my green/olive soup ended up looking so orange in this photo, but oh well.Here is the thing. You can make a complicated, delicious, non-dairy cream soup that is fantastic with a million ingredients. And they are super great. You can also make a reasonably good and simple…
about thyme beer bread
Well, this isn’t exactly from my veg box, but it is great fast beer bread. I added fresh lemon thyme to my batter and put some sprigs on the top to be fancy. The original recipe is from King Arthur’s Flour and can be found here: https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/classic-beer-bread-recipe#review-section I’ll provide the recipe below for those who…
