CSA} Meal Planning

 

My challenge moving forward, which I don't think I achieved in the recipe selection below, is figuring out how to turn winter's best vegetables, i.e., roots and tubes, into something light, rather than heavy. If you have any ideas, please drop me a comment.

Here's what I received this week on Tuesday:

1 Bag Gold Beets - Windy Hollow Organics
1 Head Baby Romanesco Cauliflower - Maple Lawn Organics
1 Bunch Celery - Organic Willow Acres
1 Bag Sweet Hakurei Turnips - Echo Valley Organics
1 Bag Purple Carrots - Elm Tree
1 Bag Watermelon Radishes - Friends Road Organics
1 Bunch Collards - Railroad Organics
1 Bunch Leeks - Friends Road Organics
1 Bag Sweet Potatoes - Meadow Valley Organics
1 Head Napa Cabbage - Bellview Organics
1 Bag Red Potatoes - Sam K. Stoltzfus Farm
1 Carnival Squash - Elm Tree Organics
