Winter Week 8 Veggie List & Menu

Basket of Orange, Purple, and Yellow Carrots
A Rainbow of Carrots this Week
Our weekly winter menu is beginning to seem like “more of same,” as we’re getting similar veggies every week from our CSA. Seasonal eating in winter is no piece of cake. The number of onions we’ve accumulated over the past few weeks is rather frightening. Anyone have some great onion recipes? I’m thinking of trying French Onion Soup again, a dish I used to whip up when I was a hungry college student many moons ago. Hopefully memory will serve. Anyone have ideas for small red onions? Lots of them?


The (not) stuffed cabbage casserole from last week didn’t turn out as envisioned, but I haven’t given up. Unfortunately, there are several lunches and dinners of the “unimproved” version to eat before resuming my experiments. Maybe a half-recipe next time? At least we’ll be eating two healthful heads of cabbage by the end of this week.

I’ve felt cold at night lately, so in addition to the soup, I’ll make Spicy Poached Fish with Veggies, a favorite warming winter dish. I will probably throw in some extra tomato juice, to make it more soupy...we have several jars of tomato juice from our CSA and received another this week. I’ll also add the two bunches of arugula we received.

What can one do with broccoli that’s fairly simple and low fat, besides just steaming? We have two hefty heads, not at all delicate. Let me know if you have some suggestions, all broccoli ideas will be entertained!

Enjoy your Presidents Day weekend. I might get crazy and harvest some violets from our front yard on the holiday.
