This is delicious. I’m glad I have a lot of it because it is really delicious. I was trying to figure out what to do with the adorable little pumpkin from my vegbox and I decided to roast it with some vegbox peppers and onions to make a barley salad with a harissa dressing. It…

breakfast peppers
I had a few lovely long green peppers in my vegbox and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. I decided to stuff them with things I might like for breakfast and have stuffed breakfast peppers! What I did is get some vegan sausage and break them into tiny pieces and mix them…
peanut stew
I had a lot of little bits and bobs leftover from my veg box to use up: ends of red and green peppers, some small potatoes, a few small sweet potatoes, a courgette/zucchini, onion, tomato, and a couple of carrots. Rather than a minestrone, I decided to give a peanut stew a try, because I…
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…

This week Facebook and Instagram were full of delicious things by my friends and family, so I didn’t have to go far to find inspiration for things to do with my veg box. I landed on soup. I wanted something thick and creamy, and one of my friends had done a kinda soup thing with…

spring soup
I had some last legs veg that I wanted to use, so I decided that I’d try a different soup, because there are only so many puréed soups a girl can do. This is sorta spring vegetable barley soup, I guess. My lovely lettuce was not fit for sandwiches because it is a bit wilted,…
sandwiches for tea
This week I had loads of beautiful colours in my veg box, so I decided to try out a new spice blend and make a pretty sandwich. This is berbered spiced sautéed chard, a mix of fried peppers, onions, and zucchini/courgette, and some hummus on sourdough. I need to work on my knife skills though….
cozy veggies
My friend Sarah said this was super yummy. The recipe looked meh. But she was right. It is pretty yummy. It is Nigel Slater’s roasted peppers, zucchini/courgette, shallot, and cherry tomatoes with rosemary, with a yogurt and sumac sauce, mixed with the juice and oil from the roasted veg. The original recipe is here and says serves…
