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…

kohlrabi part two
Kohlrabi is amazing raw, but it also amazing baked. A super easy thing to do is make kohlrabi/potato dauphinoise. Traditionally, this is just potatoes, cream, and garlic, but I had some onions kicking around so I threw them in as well. I used 2/3 kohlrabi, 1/3 potatoes, and use whatever cream you have kicking around…
creamy herbed potatoes
I know, it seems way too hot to turn on your oven today. However, I had some nice onions and potatoes in my veg box, a bunch of herbs in my pandemic garden, and this little carton of Oatley single cream I’ve been wanting to try, so I thought I’d do some scalloped potatoes/potatoes au…
roasted mustard potatoes and carrots
It is Sunday and our little household decided to make a Sunday roast. We also decided to try out Smitten Kitchen’s mustard potatoes and we were SO GLAD we did because they were awesome! Here is the link to her recipe: mustard-roasted potatoes We didn’t have everything she listed, so here is our adapted version:…
happy mash
I went to bed thinking about colcannon (a bit of Irish happiness made of creamy mashed potatoes and cabbage) and woke up thinking of colcannon, so decided to see if I could make something like it for lunch. This isn’t exactly colcannon. Well, it isn’t colcannon at all really, since I decided to branch out…
potato parsnip au gratin
My veg box provides me with all the lovely greens, but also all the comforting root veg as well, because sometimes you just want the casserole dish equivalent of a hug. And this is kinda that. Although this takes a long time to bake, it is super easy and makes the most out of some…
parsnip potato soup
This week I had some really lovely parsnips in my veg box so I decided to make some soup. This nice creamy soup is an easy one that comes together with 2 big parsnips chopped, a big potato chopped, half an chopped onion and some olive oil, salt and pepper in a big pan in…
veg box pasta soup
This tried to be minestrone, but you work with what you’ve got and I didn’t exactly have all the minestrone stuff. I have to say, I’m lucky because my veg box provides a lot of great things for yummy soup! If you’re interested in a pasta veggie soup, this soup has 5 basic parts: 1….
haggis pie
I suppose this isn’t the most convenient meal to make outside the UK, or maybe even outside of Scotland (nope, I’m not in Scotland), but I had haggis in the freezer (as you do). Yes, friends, I did. Haggis is awesome and you can get loads of different kinds, including vegetarian ones, here. Around Burn’s…
potato lasagna
So, I made a ton of bolognese sauce and I decided to make a tiny lasagna but sadly I didn’t have noodles. However, I did have potatoes from my veg box, so I decided to make potato lasagna. It was surprisingly good. Here is what I did. Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. I made a…
