I had a tiny broccoli in my veg box which was perfect for some broccoli carrot peanut noodles, but I wanted a use for the large stalk I had leftover. I decided to make a nutty, sorta cheesy, vegan spread for bagels/toast. It isn’t a looker, but it is rather nice! Here is what I…

soup hack
So, I had a beautiful head of broccoli and some potatoes in my veg box and so I decided to try a soup hack I had read on Cooks Illustrated about how to make your creamy veg soup more velvety. They suggest adding 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to your veg while you are boiling…
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…
veg bolognese sauce
I had a variety of lovely veg in my veg box I thought would be nice in a bolognese sauce: carrots, red and green peppers, onion. This recipe uses a lot of veg including mushrooms, garlic, tinned tomatoes, and cauliflower. It gets added texture from nuts, and I used a combo of almonds and cashews…
broccoli soup
I think everyone probably has a broccoli soup recipe, but here is a vegan one I did that is creamy, gentle, and satisfying. It makes use of lovely veg box favourites (carrots, onions, potatoes, in addition to broccoli). It gets its zip from cashews blended up with some nutritional yeast. I didn’t use stock, just…
instant pot broccoli risotto

pasta e ceci
This isn’t so much an adventure with my veg box as it is an adventure with my pantry. In part because I had a can of tomatoes open for something else, in part because a friend of mine was talking about this and I realised I had most of this kicking around and it sounded…
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…
potatoes and carrots
This week I had a bunch of really pretty bunch of purple carrots, a leek, and lovely little potatoes in my veg box. I decided to make some carrot top pesto for some pesto potato salad and roast up a couple of carrots with some of the leek for a topping on a open faced…
