I had loads of fluffy kale and tiny delicious new potatoes in my veg box, and since it is so hot, I decided to make a simple salad. This salad works if you really love kale already. If you don’t, this might not convert you. You can add non-dairy/dairy feta, faux/real tuna with Mayo, olives,…

cheesy colcannon pies
When I moved here, I discovered colcannon and never looked back. I make it every single time I get cabbage or spinach or kale in my veg box. I often have some stashed away in the freezer for a potato emergency. Here is what I did. I fried up a diced onion until brown and…
slaw salad
Adventures with my veg box: Kohlrabi is something I had never bought or really heard of until I had a veg box. A number of my British and German friends just love it, and I can see why—it is a lovely crisp, mild, almost sweet brassica and makes for a nice coleslaw salad since my…
meatballs
Sometimes I’m looking for a little protein boost for the things I make with the veg in my veg box. Here is a vegan meatball recipe my dear friend shared with me that I really love and I make a lot. They are nice as spaghetti and meatballs, meatball sandwiches, Swedish meatballs, or meatballs in…

You can add feta or mozzarella to any…

purple cabbage with yummy sauce
I’m still working my way through this purple cabbage. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Today I decided to try out Vegan Richa’s Mac n cheese sauce that she says is just as nice on vegetables as it is on noodles. Also, it calls for potatoes and carrots, which I also had in…
asparagus on toast
I had some really lovely parsley in my veg box this week and I thought it would be nice with a bit of asparagus. Here is what you do. Heat a pan with some oil on medium/high. Pop in the asparagus, some salt and pepper, and garlic (powder or fresh). Sauté for a minute or…
