Every week I want to blog on topics other than just my meal planning. Somehow time is just eaten up and my efforts to simplify life so I would have time to blog about my other adventures just don't pan out. I am hoping this will change soon and I will figure balance & my routines out a little better. In the mean time, my family has to eat, so here goes. :)
We watched the documentary "Forks Over Knives" the other day. It is amazing. I highly recommend this film which is available on streaming Netflix. This will affect the recipes I am choosing, as I will focus more on the veggies and less on the meat & dairy. I am also going to do 1-2 leftover nights. Even when eating leftovers for lunch, I'm finding we just can't eat it all!
Small Box
1 Red Leaf Lettuce
1 Red Bell Pepper
2 White Bell Pepper
1 Brandywine Tomato
1 Pineapple Tomato
1 Green Cabbage
1 Green Kale
1 bunch Easter Radish
1 Galia Melon
1 bunch Round Carrots
1 basket Raspberries
*Lettuce used for salad & sandwiches. Tomatoes, Bell Pepper & some radishes also used for salad. Raspberries eaten with breakfasts, Melon cut up & eaten throughout the day. I gotta admit, I am not too fond of radishes. Blech! If anyone knows any great things to do to them to make them more tasty, please post!

I was looking for something different to do with the radishes & came across this yummy looking recipe. Great thing is, you can adapt this according to your needs. If you don't like the lamb, just make the tzatziki to go with another protein or even to use as a bread or veggie dip. He also highlights how to do the grilled tomatoes. So versatile!

"Meatless Monday"
I'll be cooking up some Tofu & we'll eat any remaining salad & toss in whatever veggies we have left.
Red Pepper Hummus with Toasted Pita Triangles - I'm just substituting with the peppers that came in the Box.
