So I got my first delivery from the organic farm on Wednesday, and there was a wide variety of stuff. I was pretty pleased.
I then went off and forgot about it altogether until today.
Eep.
Needless to say, tonight's dinner was fueled by a huge sense of "OMG Must use this before it goes bad!!!!"
The boys had a hot dog and PB&J respectively (because I'm a sucker) and then fresh carrot sticks, strawberries, kiwi fruit, and some mango pieces. Will usually likes broccoli, but the broccoli had started to yellow so he wouldn't touch it. I was unwilling to simply let it go, though, so I steamed it in the microwave.
After the boys finished eating, I cut up the remaining kiwi, strawberries, and mango and mixed it up with a dressing made of honey, lime juice, a bit of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. For dinner, I took deli turkey, the broccoli, and swiss cheese and made rollups with it. I then put them in a potato roll with a bit of spicy dijon mustard. I'm now having that for a sandwich along with the fruit salad. I feel almost skilled, and it's quite tasty.
I do have some other stuff left... some onions, some pears, some grapefruit. The tricky one, though, is the fresh asparagus. I've never ever in my life cooked asparagus before. Does anyone have any suggestions for quick and easy asparagus recipes?
