Yesterday, we picked up our veggie box. In it, we received green tomatoes, collard greens, cucumbers, and oranges. We doubled up on oranges and cucumbers instead of getting carrots and lettuce. Once I know what's in the box, it's time to figure out how to incorporate it into a menu. The oranges are delicious! I'm not sure what variety they are but all three of us have been eating them with breakfast and as a snack. They don't peel easily so Trent is learning how to eat the flesh off the orange smiles.
Monday - Lentils and Veggies
(basically a clean out the fridge day of the veggies we have left from the previous week's vegbox. I loosely followed the recipe, but instead of spinach, I used butternut squash and sweet potatoes.)
Tuesday - Slow Cooker Beef Stroganoff with sliced cucumbers on the side
Wednesday - Pork Chops with Collard Greens
(Thank goodness for southern friends because I had no idea what to do with collard greens!)
Thursday - Chickpea and Parmesan Pasta
(I have been wanting to try this recipe for weeks and it keeps getting put off - tomorrow's the day!)
Friday - Homemade Pizza
So that leaves me with green tomatoes... I like fried green tomatoes, but we have more tomatoes than I want to fry. A friend suggested green tomato salsa, so I may have to try that and see how it turns out!
