Farm Fresh

broccoli, cabbage, chard, fennel, garlic, gourmet greens, romaine, parsley

What’s for Dinner?

I call it vacation veggie overload; returning just a day or two post farm drop off can cause quite a backup! So, with a short veggie week upon me, dinnertime will be filled with main-meal romaine and cabbage salads, using entire gargantuan heads; with complete bunches of parsley plus a salad; and with loads of broccoli, fennel and chard, all in one fold-over pizza dinner.  The great news is, anything I just can’t quite squeeze in generally finds an eager home with a friend or neighbor.
