In this week's CSA box

A head of cauliflower
a few small broccoli florets
a bunch of kale
2 bunches of cilantro
a head of cabbage
2 oranges
4 grapefruit
2 small bunches of baby bok choy
a bag of mixed greens
a bunch of radishes
a dozen eggs

Mmm....the menu for the next few days:
Wednesday: Leftovers for supper and for New Year's Eve-strawberries, bananas, chocolate pudding, angel food cake, cheese, sausage and crackers plus Green Punch and Blood Orange juice with sparkling water
Thursday: Traditional Southern New Year's Meal: Black-eyed peas, cornbread, and greens with sauce (using the kale)
Friday: Turkey pot pie (using leftover turkey) and fresh broccoli


The family leaves early Thursday morning so I am going to try to get back to a normal schedule and back on track with blogging recipes. I can think of lots of sides I am eager to make: braised root vegetables, bok choy salad, roasted brussels sprouts and cauliflower. I just need to come up with a few more main dishes! Maybe it's time for more cabbage bread soup using some of that leftover cheese I have in the refrigerator and the loaf of whole wheat bread. We'll see how things pan out over the weekend!
