I'm leaving for my summer job tomorrow morning and once that's over I'm only back home for 3ish days before catching a flight to England and my ultimate destination for the indeterminate future, Prague. My family doesn't really cook, but we have a CSA share for the summer. Food going to waste makes me really anxious, so I've been aggressively trying to convert our farm share plus all of my random food I've brought back from college to a form my family will eat in my absence. In the past (<) 48 hours I have made:
- Vegan Lasagna with the Veganomicon Cashew Ricotta and a side of sauteed swiss chard and kohlrabi (my first time cooking and/or eating kohlrabi...not bad)
- 12-grain bran breakfast muffins with fresh cherries, carrots, raisins and some vegan white chocolate chips (recipe forthcoming?)
- 2 loaves sourdough bread (recipe also forthcoming?)
- Dried sourdough starter (so I can take it with me to Prague)
- Radish Green & Arugula Pesto with Crumbled Pecans
- Fresh Salsa
- Black Bean Burgers from Veganomicon (in progress...the dried black beans are simmering now to become...undried)
I am impressed with myself. Now if only I could be so productive with my non-food related chores. They just don't cause me the same anxiety/push towards productivity that food going bad does. I'm not even sure where I picked up this instinct, as my family throws so much away.
Also, what can I do with beet greens besides sautee them?!

YAY CSA inspiration! I've been going crazy with ours. Spenser and I made a vegetarian greens gratin with our beet greens yesterday and it was quite tasty. It has dairy and eggs, but I bet you could find a vegan basic gratin recipe and modify it with add blanched beet greens and rice as the base. You could also try 101 Cookbooks's Super Natural Recipe Search for inspiration. Good luck with the upcoming move and getting that much needed motivation!
I really wish that you could send me some of that food. May I clone you and keep you with my everywhere I go? (I miss you!)
after further review, the lattes on top of your blog look like they have been sitting out for like 45 minutes. gotta freshen that shit!
(i work at such a fancy coffeeshop now and i am going to LATTE ART CLASS soon. oh god.)
