What’s for Dinner?

Really, it’s the last of the sweet peppers. At least that’s what my CSA keeps telling me. So, what a pleasant surprise it’s been each week when a few more of these late summer beauties keep showing up. Thank you, sunshine! More parsley (yes, I can plan a meal around parsley!), cute little acorn squash just waiting to be stuffed, gorgeous chard, and two giant heads of bok choy. I’ll join team raw, and in addition to the tried-and-true stir fry, give the bok choy a try in an asian autumn slaw. Enjoy!
