Many of the fruits and vegetables in this week's box are regulars in my grocery basket, so we were not too adventurous this week. Baby steps right? Here is what we did do...
The lettuce and the tomatoes were a no brainer, right into a salad they went. I wish I had thought to shave a few carrots in. They are still sitting in my refrigerator sad and lonely :( All of the fruit; plums, pineapple, mango, cherries, and peaches were snacks for my lunch. Sorry nothing exciting there. The avocado was used to make egg salad. I substitute the avocado for mayo. YUM! I HATE cilantro. I have tried it many different ways, and i cant find a use for it in my house. I asked around. No one could use it, so unfortunately, it went unused. I sauteed the rainbow chard with olive oil, garlic and a mesquite seasoning one night to serve alongside BBQ meatloaf. Score with the kids! While I love broccoli, and could it it every day, my family is another story. I tossed it in the teriyaki marinade I used for steak tips, and it was a success. One zucchini was battered and cooked when I made chicken Parmesan, the other is hanging in the fridge with the carrot.
The green beans became part of a delicious meal that my entire family loved. My 7 year old step-daughter, who hates potatoes, loved it. I used chicken tenders instead of breasts because that's what I had in the fridge, but it was a delight.
