I had some broccoli and broad beans in my veg box this week so I thought I would try a brown rice salad bowl I saw on Smitten Kitchen. It has an absolutely delicious tahini, miso, ginger dressing that I jazzed up with a teaspoon gouchujang and splash of fresh orange juice (from the oranges…

potato, bean, tofu salad with harissa dressing
The photo is a little blurry, but the salad is super yummy! It was a treat to have purple potatoes in my veg box this week, so I had a really pretty and colourful salad. I also had green beans and some super pretty purple and green lettuce in my box, so I thought I…
gochujang noodles
I saw this quick and easy recipe on food52 for a spicy, creamy noodle dish using greens and I thought I would give it a go with my vegbox courgette/zucchini and pak choi. It is just as easy and delicious as the recipe says. It would also be fabulous with any greens or leftover protein…
sweet potato salad with white bean miso hummus
This week I had sweet potatoes in my veg box, so I decided to try Meera Sodha’s recipe for a sweet potato salad with a white bean miso hummus. I also had some kale in my box, which I thought would be a lovely addition and it was. You’ll want to steam it first and…
broccoli, lentil, and rice salad
I had lots of lovely greens in my veg box, namely purple sprouting broccoli and rocket/arugula, so I decided to make an easy grain salad with grains, greens, lentils, and some nuts and seeds. Here is what I did. I put 1/2 cup of rice in my rice cooker and set it to cook. While…

I was feeling a little TexMex so most of the beets were sliced thin with a mandolin, tossed with oil and bbq spices (ancho chilli powder, garlic powder, salt, liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, lime juice) and roasted at 190C/375F for 15-20. I drizzled a…
roasted cauliflower
This week I received a small cauliflower in my veg box. I decided to roast half in the oven, which turned out surprisingly well. Maybe because my cauliflower was small, maybe because it was half? In any case, it was awesome on the rocket/arugula I also got in my veg box. Here is what I…
sweet potato kale salad
In my veg box I had some great sweet potatoes and some flower sprouts, which is a cross between kale and Brussels sprouts. I decided to make a warm salad by roasting the sweet potatoes, steaming the flower sprouts, brown rice, and making a peanut dressing. This isn’t exactly quick and uses a lot of…
dead easy hummus
I follow Meera Sodha in Instagram and the Guardian and everywhere else because she is basically a food genius. Trust me. Genius. Sometimes I’ll read a recipe of hers and think “meh” and then make it and be “damn, GENIUS!” A while back she did an Instagram story about hummus, my legit favourite food, and…
