It's a perfect week for Halloween treats, so each of today's veggies comes with a Halloween theme recipe! In this week's basket there will be Cherokee purple tomatoes (probably the last ones of the year), red radishes, a black radish, jalapenos, and some of our almost 2,000 pounds of sweet potatoes.
Now this basket is full of things to help make some pretty creepy-cool Halloween goodies. These Radish "eyeballs" are sure to bring a little bit of a spook to your table. Also in this basket is a black radish which can be made into a spooky cauldron in less than 5 minutes. These Halloweño Jalapeño popper mummies are honestly really cute as well, and I hope to try them out myself soon. (even if its not close to Halloween). Want something a bit more kid friendly? How about the cute sweet potato monster cookies?
The cooler weather is great for soup, and homemade Tomato Basil soup is a favorite in our house. This recipe calls for two 24 oz cans of tomatoes, which you can replace with about 4 Cherokee purple tomatoes, diced, juice and all. I plan on making it later this week, and adding a little food coloring to make it a creepier, Halloween color.
I really hope you enjoy this weeks basket and have a happy Halloween! (and look out for that snow although its WAY too early for it to be snowing in my opinion.)
