I love veggies.  My life/meal/body/face/soul feels incomplete unless I have them several times a day.  Here is a quick and healthy way to get your veg on.

2 medium red potatoes, cut to inch squares
2 medium purple potatoes, cut to inch squares
half a head of cauliflower, divided to bite size
1 zucchini, sliced 1/3rd inch thick
1 teaspoon of olive oil
salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Put it all in a bowl, mix, put into a baking pan. I like the heavier glass/pyrex ones. Place into the oven for 45 minutes. Toss them half way inbetween. SO EASY!

Wooooooow! Such a better box this week! All my complaints about wilty vegetables are gone!

Here’s the list: spaghetti squash, beets, china rose radish, daikon radish, broccoli, eggplant, green tomatoes, cilantro, red russian kale, dinosaur kale, curly kale, spinach, a two magical heads of greens that we’re still in the process of identifying! All of them look incredibly fresh and beautiful.

I’d say this will keep us busy for 2 weeks. Look for our recipes in the coming days!

And here’s the mysterious two: the first one looks like an open head of romaine, but its bitter, and possibly green curly lettuce or escarole for the second? Share your thoughts!

At last! The three of us iheartyum ladies have been waiting with great anticipation for the first delivery of our biweekly CSA veggie bundle. We all agreed its an excellent way to not only get our hands on some delicious produce and to support local farmers directly, but to help us expand and challenge our culinary horizons. And fortunately for us, our company provided a Wednesday drop off schedule, not to mention a greatly appreciated discounted price.

You gotta admit, it’s a beautiful spread. Inside we found: zucchini, summer squash, patty pan squash, a giant bunch of cilantro, green tomatoes, eggplant, spaghetti squash, a good bit of okra, swiss chard, red Russian kale, dinosaur kale, one china rose radish, one beet, and a giant head of bok choy. Everything looked a tiiiny bit wilty (that’s a word), and I was happy to get it tucked away into the fridge when I got home.

I challenged the ladies to try to post once per box with a dish they prepared using the current week’s booty, so keep on the lookout for lots of delicious winter veggie delights in the very near future.
