Continuing on the fast and easy pastas with yummy crouton topping, I made this one from the lovely cherry tomatoes and courgette/zucchini in my veg box and tossed it with a bit of feta and a splash of orange juice from the oranges in my box. So good. Here is what I did. Chop the…

broccoli pesto
I had a lot of lovely broccoli for a solo diner, and so I figured one way to make use of the rest (including the stalk) is to make a broccoli pesto. This one is vegan, and I substituted herby garlicky homemade breadcrumb/croutons for cheese, but you can do cheese or both. Here is what…
carrot and couscous salad
The carrots in my veg box are magical and deserve a starring role in a dish. Often I make shredded carrot salad. This is an easy roasted carrot salad with couscous that is nice and easy from Clare Thomson: I made a few alterations, but it is basically the same. Here is what I did….
cool salads
On hot days like this, I’m especially glad for the treasures in my vegbox and the nice cool salads I can make. Today I made a favourite, the simple shredded carrot salad, which is such a winner of a salad. It couldn’t be more easy or more delicious. Here is what you do. Either shred…
courgette spread
I love getting courgettes/zucchini in my vegbox. I’m also happy to be gifted them. I grew up in Southwestern Ontario where people would guerrilla zucchini people and so I am a girl who knows how to manage a herd of orphaned zucchini. I found this recipe from 5 o’clock apron and it is perhaps the…
potatoes and beans
I love potatoes and the potatoes in my veg box are always fantastic. This week I also had some gorgeous garlic, so I decided to make one of my favourite potato dishes: Anna Jones’s Greek potatoes. She adds whipped feta, but any crumbled non-dairy/dairy cheese is nice here. I decided I wanted a protein boost,…
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…
salsify, potato, and cheese puffs
Continuing on with my experiments with salsify, I decided to mash some with my veg box potatoes, spring onion, parsley, and cheese for some super fun puff pastry snacks, sorta like a good ol’ cheese and onion pasty. I think the salsify gives a bit of an exciting twist on the traditional cheese and onion…
cool summer salads
It was hot today and so cool easy salads were what I needed. These three are low effort and using not too many ingredients: spicy brown lentils with tomatoes and lemon; potato, green bean, and rocket/arugula salad with honey mustard dressing; and herby mushrooms with sourdough croutons. You can add feta or mozzarella to any…
lockdown tabbouleh
I had stunning lemons and some gorgeous tomatoes in my veg box, as well as a whole lotta curly parsley to use up, since I just got some beautiful flat parsley in my veg box this week, so I decided to try my hand at tabbouleh using what I had in the kitchen: 2 bunches…
