This Weeks basket includes Kale, Spinach, Turnips, and Carrots.
Kale is great for plenty of things. Quiche for example is pretty good with it. I like quiches for breakfast because its an egg pie and who doesn't like a good pie?
Spinach Artichoke dip is one of the ways that I like to eat Spinach because it has all the good things. Cream Cheese, Spinach, Artichoke, Garlic, Other stuff. Spinach salad made with strawberries or mandarin oranges is good, too.
With carrots there's about a million and one ways to make something. You can fry them, sautee them, roast them, or glaze them. They taste good raw too. You can make something sweet, or something savory. Basically, you can do anything with carrots and it will taste good. I'm sure that even bacon-wrapped carrots would taste amazing.
Turnips are quite a different story. They're a vegetable that is good raw while also tasting good cooked, baked, fried and sauteed. I thought they originated from Germany or somewhere in Europe, but turns out that they originated from Eastern Asia! Another fun turnip fact is that there is so many different colors of them. There is the purple top, a bright red one, all white round ones, yellow ones, Hakurei turnips and more! They taste good with plenty of things (Parmesan Crusted Crushed Turnips anyone?)
This bacon-wrapped chicken recipe was our lunch for today. We also roasted turnips using the unused rub. We put butter in an 8x8 size pan and melted it in the oven at 350 degrees. Then we added the turnips to that, covered them in butter and then poured the rub over the top of them. After the rub was poured and covered, the turnips were put back in the oven for 30 minutes and it tasted AWESOME!
I hope you enjoy this weeks basket and recipes!
