pumpkin and black eyed pea soup

I had a darling little pumpkin in my veg box that I had been meaning to use for a while, so I decided to make it into a soup version of Meera Sodha’s delicious pumpkin curry I love so much. It turned out really well. Here is what I did. I warmed some oil in…

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…

cabbage rolls and cabbage roll lasagna

potatoes and beans

She adds whipped feta, but any crumbled non-dairy/dairy cheese is nice here. I decided I wanted a protein boost,…

smoky sweet potato chowder

I had some sweet potatoes from my veg box to use up and decided to make a smoky potato chowder. This is primarily smoky creamy sweet potato soup, but I added a bit of carrot for a bit of added flavour and sweetness (since I had lovely fat carrots in my veg box) and some…

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…
