The carrots in my veg box are magical and deserve a starring role in a dish. Often I make shredded carrot salad. This is an easy roasted carrot salad with couscous that is nice and easy from Clare Thomson: I made a few alterations, but it is basically the same. Here is what I did….

courgette spread
I love getting courgettes/zucchini in my vegbox. I’m also happy to be gifted them. I grew up in Southwestern Ontario where people would guerrilla zucchini people and so I am a girl who knows how to manage a herd of orphaned zucchini. I found this recipe from 5 o’clock apron and it is perhaps the…

spinach pie
A good friend of mine has made this lovely pie for me many times and I’ve finally got around to making it for myself. This is easy and delicious. I make it in my big cast iron pan. My stomach isn’t great with the volume of alliums in the original recipe, so I’ve reduced it…
