I had an awkward amount of vine tomatoes from my veg box that needed to be eaten immediately. Too many for salad for one, but too few for tomato soup. I also discovered I had a stale ciabatta roll and figured maybe I could put them together in the oven as a yummy dish where…

2-4-1 veg
It has been hot and like most people I haven’t felt much like making a fuss about dinner, so here are two easy things that don’t take much effort. I had a giant courgette/zucchini gifted to me from my kind neighbour, so I decided to make a dinner I enjoyed as a student—stuffed courgette/zucchini. Here…
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…
potato parsnip au gratin
My veg box provides me with all the lovely greens, but also all the comforting root veg as well, because sometimes you just want the casserole dish equivalent of a hug. And this is kinda that. Although this takes a long time to bake, it is super easy and makes the most out of some…
potato lasagna

I basically crumbled and mashed tater tots into a crust. It is cheap, yummy, and easy. Ingredients 4 cups frozen tater tots or frozen hashbrowns 1/2c optional…
savoury french toast
This is so easy and a good use of stale bread and a few lonely veg. Here is what you do: mix 2 eggs, about 1/2c of milk, lemon pepper, sumac, and salt in a small pie plate. Let the stale bread soak in a pie plate (flip it over to make sure both sides…
creamy leeks
During the time of many veg box leeks, I decided to try this recipe for leek gratin. It is absolutely amazing, but super rich. As you can see above, it is fantastic on crusty bread, and I have brought it as a side dish to potluck dinners. The recipe is forgiving, so you can scale…
