My veg box arrived with some great corn and I decided to use part of it in a black bean soup and the rest I would make a bit of a cheat creamed corn. The incredibly talented Jocelyn Delk Adams has a blog called “Grandbaby cakes” with some outstanding Southern cooking and I decided to…

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…
