Local Box 10/2/14 - Vegan Greenling Mealplan

Joy of joy's - the box is clearly turning"fall"

It says this picture of of last weeks local box but it's essentially what i got minus the limes and plus persimmons!

Pea Shoots
Black Eyed Peas
Baby Chard & collard mix
Chinese Long Beans
Dill/Chive mix
Persimmons
Apples
Red Potatoes
Butternut Squash

ok - here goes

Pea Shoots - i already gave some to Drizzle and he likes - but there's a recipe that came with the box (there's always 3 or 4 recipes using some of the contents on the back of the paper that lists the contents!) - that looks easy and tasty - Pea Shoots with Garlic - stir fried with a soy sauce mixture. I found this one online that looks good with ginger - Stir Fried Pea shoots with Garlic and Ginger

Black Eyed Peas - I think I'm going to make a Hoppin' John recipe with Tempeh from my old old faithful cookbook the Vegetarian Times Cookbook - serve with brown rice

Baby Chard & Collard mix - will go in this weeks Kichari - there is a ton so will also probably just steam and serve with balsamic vinegar & nutritional yeast as a side dish

Chinese Long Beans - stir fried with garlic! Or thrown into Kichari

Dill/Chive Mix  - ummmmm Dill & Chive Cashew Cheese - 'nuff said
and if it doesn't use it all then these simple Peas with Dill & Chive

Persimmons - last year I discovered persimmons in a smoothie with fall spices, I'm ready again!

Apples - just eat - likely with almond butter for a snack

Butternut Squash - not sure yet!! I've been so excited to get butternut squash that I'm craving it in a million different ways. sooooo may be some roasted dish, or a curry dish.
