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….

mac n cheese n greens
My veg box had all the lovely greens with week, so I’ve have been spoiled with lush leafy greens on everything. I decided to make easy mac and cheese (a béchamel sauce with added cheese and toss that with noodles) and top my noodles with some sautéed garlicky spinach. So yummy. Béchamel sauce is pretty…
tofu and greens on a baguette
I had some fabulous pakchoi/bokchoy in my veg box, and it turns out that it is super great in a sandwich! If you sauté it with a little soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and peanut oil and some tofu (I had some deep fried tofu they sell at the Asian grocery near me), it is amazing!…
lazy noodles with greens
My veg box this week had all the glorious greens! How lucky am I?!? So I made a quick and seriously yummy dinner of noodles, pakchoi/bokchoy, and vegan mince. Here’s how! In a big pan add a slosh of oil. When hot add some garlic and ginger paste (or chopped garlic and ginger, or add…
purple cabbage and tofu
So friends, purple cabbage is an awesome veg, I’ll just admit it. My veg box people were genius giving me the gift that keeps on giving. This veg lasts forever and you can do a lot with it. Today I made spicy tahini noodles and it was awesome. Here is how. Last night I thinly…
purple soup
Well, I still have my giant purple cabbage. Like an old friend, it waited patiently for me to return and I did. I decided to take my friend Sarah’s advice to make it into Anna Jones’s Purple Pickled Cabbage Soup, figuring that would use up the rest of this lovely cabbage. Nope. Still have some…
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,…
can’t beat beets
I had two beets in my veg box that needed sorting. 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…
meera sodha’s pumpkin & black eyed pea curry
I’ve had a butternut squash kicking around from a veg box past, and some veg box tomatoes that needed to be used, so I decided to make this curry because I love it. It makes a ton, and it is amazing. The original recipe calls for pumpkin, the link I’ve post uses slices of acorn…
green soup
Today I thought I’d make something with all the green veg in my veg box that would go with toast or a sandwich (but it ended up being toast because I was too lazy to sort out a sandwich). I had a huge head of lovely leaf lettuce, a smallish courgette/zucchini, a green pepper (that…
