In this week’s bag:
- green beans
- tomatillos
- peaches
- frying peppers
- sungold cherry tomatoes
- tuscan kale
- lettuce mix
- cantaloupe
The cantaloupe smelled so good in my office! I rarely eat my melon when served a fruit salad but when you get it this fresh, it is so sweet! I thought I was gonna cut right into it when I got home but the beau had dinner waiting for me… corn chowder!
It was a little purple in color because he used last week’s FG purple carrots and blue potatoes. The corn was a frozen FG delivery from this past winter and the chorizo that we topped it off with is our most favorite discovery from Trader Joe’s. We are hooked! I’ll share our taco recipe soon using this ingredient. Back to the soup, with some bread to dip, it was a great meal. He used this recipe.
On to this week’s plans to use up the veggies: the beau has been patiently awaiting the arrival of the tomatillos; he makes the best tomatillo salsa around! Every time he makes it, which is only once or twice a year, we always joke that he should jar it up and sell it at the market. You’ll have to beg him for the recipe; I have no clue what’s in that dip of deliciousness. I think he did mention also using up the peppers for this salsa.
I’d prefer not to put this kale in our morning shakes only because it’s my favorite variety. Instead I’m thinking about this dish that I’ve made in the past and can’t get enough of. My love of all things kale and coconut unite in one meal- so good! I’m heading to Massachusetts this weekend to visit my partner in crime and I may bring all these ingredients with me to devour once we finish our ten miles. The perfect post-run breakfast!
Those peaches! So many peaches! They are perfect; I tried one this morning for breakfast and brought two for snacks. I also brought a big salad for lunch using the lettuce mix with some homemade roasted red pepper hummus, peperoncinis, a handful of the FG tomatoes, shredded FG purple carrots and a pita. Today’s a good day!
As mentioned above, I’m hitting the road for Mass. this afternoon and will be disconnected for the next two days. I rarely get to see this friend and want to give her my undivided attention. The Nikon D300 is charging, my bags are packed and so are my sneakers. Friends who run together, stay together!
Hope you all have a healthy, productive but fun weekend!
