What To Do With A Box Of Vegetables: CSA Box #7

Slightly less crappy pic than last week

2011 CSA Box 7

1 lb. strawberries
6 oz. blueberries
6 fair trade bananas
8 oz. cut n clean seasonal cooking greens
1 lb. sugar snap peas
1 bunch broccolini
3 oriental sweet potatoes
1 pint mini heirloom tomatoes
1 pint sweet mini peppers

How I Used My Share

I ate the strawberries and blueberries with oatmeal for breakfast.

My DH ate the bananas to recover after a run.

I made greens with eggs with the cut n clean greens and half of the tomatoes.

I made a quick lunch pasta with the remaining tomatoes.

I ate half of the sugar snap peas and two of the sweet potatoes in a simple stir fry.

I ate the other half in a Japanese-inspired soba dish with frozen brussels sprouts and steak.

I used the broccolini along with an onion for a simple Thai-inspired stir fry.

The remaining sweet potato I made into sweet potato fries, which I served alongside a steak sandwich topped with the sliced mini peppers.
