There are some new items you’ll see in your shares. Not sure what to do or you need some inspiration – here are some tips and recipe links for you. Lots of possibilities for your meals this week.

Spaghetti Squash – We like to bake ours, scoop it out and bake casserole style in a dish after mixing with fresh pressed garlic, tomato sauce, Parmesan cheese and maybe some extra cheese on top till bubbly. Follow this link for even more ideas lots of pictures on how to cook and prepare spaghetti squash

Kohlrabi – yeah it is weird looking, very versatile can be eaten raw, roasted, sauteed, boiled. Great link on how to cut it up

Cabbage – this link has a wealth of information about cabbage and how to use it. One of my favorite websites. The recipe ideas are all the way at the bottom

Turnip – our favorite is roasted or mashed, link has 4 easy recipe ideas

Radish – raw or cooked – they are not just for salads – stir fry, roasted – radish looses its spiciness after cooking

The greens mix can be eaten as a salad or slightly wilted in a saute – spiciness fades in arugula and mustard greens after cooking
