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…

broccoli, kale, and giant couscous
Since we’ve been having a stretch of hot days, I’ve been so happy for the greens in my veg box that have gone into some simple salads. This is baby kale, broccoli, and giant couscous salad. You can use any smallish noodley things like orzo or tiny pasta shapes, but I sorta love giant couscous…
beans on toast
Well, not your usual beans on toast. I had some beautiful baby kale in my veg box and decided to sauté it in some olive oil with a shallot, a very small can of cannellini beans, some fresh rosemary and sage. When it was all soft and mostly done, I added some Aleppo pepper, a…
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…
scottish cream of mushroom soup
If you have mushrooms and onions in your veg box this week and feel like you might want a bit of booze in your soup, this might be the soup for you! You need an onion, garlic of some form (I used garlic powder), salt, pepper, a bunch of mushrooms, about 500ml of stock, booze,…
rhubarb compote
Here is something super easy if you have rhubarb! Rhubarb compote. It is kinda like jam, except it isn’t really jam and you make it in the oven with no effort. It is yummy on crumpets (seen here), also on yogurt. This version is rose, hibiscus, rhubarb compote. Why so fancy? Okay, I am a…
leftover bread salad part two
Ignore the giant slices of sourdough toast, I’m on the sourdough baking train with countless others in lockdown kitchens everywhere. I did make another leftover bread salad with leftover bread from a different loaf (I might have a wee baking obsession at the moment). I’ve been so lucky to have loads of gorgeous greens in…
antipasto leftover bread salad
If you are like me, and maybe have some leftover bread that you might need a use for, here is an idea: bread salad! So there are loads of recipes for panzanellas out there and I didn’t exactly have the ingredients for any of them. However, the idea seemed to be take some old bread,…
