WHAT'S COOKIN'?

• I freestyled an awesome vegetable soup starting with onions, garlic and celery. Then I added chopped, fresh tomatoes and slowly cooked them down until they were thick and caramelized. I deglazed the pan with some white wine, then added chicken stock, carrots, squash, fresh corn and kale. We’ve been eating it all week with garlic bread. Yum!
• Then with the rest of the chicken stock (I made a full batch of Slow Cooker Chicken Stock), I made a pureed soup with carrots, fennel and garlic.
• I’m planning on steak fajitas this coming week to use up all of these green peppers. I’m not a big fan of green peppers, and fajitas are about the only thing I like to use them for!

If you’re reading this list, thinking “this doesn’t look at all like what I got in my box”, you’re very perceptive! This is only a sampling of the items on the menu for today at my wedding. So needless to say, I did not pick up our box this morning (in fact, I’m not even writing this in real time – I “pre-posted” the week before). Luckily, our neighbors are picking up box no. 11 and taking Angelic Organics for a test drive. Good luck KC and Matt.

There won’t be any vegetable recipe posts this week (no ingredients, no posts) but I will be reposting a couple of my favorites from my very first (and now retired) blog, J.Noelle Cooks. Stay tuned this week for a fantastic family recipe and a peek into a special part of my cookbook collection.

And, if you’re wondering who is making all of this wonderful food, it’s my good friends at Sunday Dinner (the talented chefs who are also behind the Eat Green Foods prepared gourmet food line).

I’m off to say my “I dos”!
