What To Do With It:

 Vegetable stew!  My first inclination was to make soup and it was a great choice!  Here's the recipe from Forks Over Knives.  I really like this website and use it for a lot of recipe ideas.  I added a little liquid smoke and a couple of bay leaves to mine.  It uses baking potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, onion, and carrots from the CSA box.   https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/hearty-vegetable-stew/#gs.UbNMiuw

Panera Copycat Quinoa Broth Bowl:  We went to Panera Bread on Sunday while visiting my Sister-in-Law.  I was delighted to find that they offered a vegan lentil quinoa bowl.  It was filled with large pieces of kale in a delicious vegan broth.  At just 270 calories it was a great big bowl of WOW!  Here's a copycat version from The Balanced Berry. It uses the kale from this week's CSA box.   https://www.thebalancedberry.com/quinoa-broth-bowl/ 

Roasted Delicata Squash:  Easy Peasy and absolutely delicious!  Cut, take out the seeds, slice, put it on a pan, brush it with olive oil, and roast.  That's it!  Let Rachael Cooks show you how it's done.  https://www.rachelcooks.com/2017/10/30/how-to-cook-delicata-squash/

Roasted winter Vegetables:  When I roast vegetables, I usually do two full pans of them at one time.  I often serve a simple supper of roasted vegetables, homemade muffins, and fruit for dessert in the winter.  If you'd like instructions on how to do a whole lot of them at once, this recipe from Food Network has easy-to-follow instructions and a video to watch.  Enjoy!  https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/roasted-winter-vegetables-recipe-1914932

Kale and Sweet Potato Salad with Dried Cranberries: Another Forks over Knives creation, this salad is the perfect combination of sweet and tart flavors!  I  doubled the dressing recipe and added about a Tbsp of real maple syrup.  It was the perfect amount for a big bowl of kale.  The whole family loved it!  https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/kale-sweet-potato-salad-with-dried-cranberries/#gs.Jo5xivQ

Festive Vegetable Pot Pie:  This recipe just screams "comfort food!"  A combination of warm and savory herbs and spices compliment the mixed vegetable filling inside the gluten-free crust made from mashed potatoes and almond flour.  https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/festive-vegetable-pot-pie/#gs.u0gWP3E

Apple Walnut Salad with Cranberry Vinaigrette:  Nothing better than the combination of apples and mixed lettuce greens!  This has a serious YUM factor!  Use the salad greens and apples from the box.  However, any of the other greens from the box would be a perfectly acceptable substitute.  Here's a link for the recipe. 

      Easy!  Fresh!  Delicious!  

This recipe for 10 minute Lemon Garlic Sauteed Bok Choy is a sure winner as a side dish or I would even consider throwing it over some quinoa or brown rice as more of main dish.
