Recipe Results from Week 2

Let's see... the week flew by but I want to jot down what happened to the veggies. The beets were boiled, peeled and added to the pickling jar. The "rainbow" mix was truly a variety of white, yellowish gold, pink and red beets. As predicted, Jack and Grandma are the pickled beet eaters in the family.

For Father's Day, I tried to sneak the turnips into the garlic mashed potatoes. They didn't cook up as soft as I expected so the result was underwhelming. Not bad, just not spectacular. We at every speck of the carrots in glazed form; interesting how a huge bunch of carrots with their greens turns out to be just about enough for one serving per family member.

Another good stir fry later in the week with left over bits of sirloin steak, kohlrabi, broccoli, green onions... sauced up with a can of apricots with their juice, soy sauce and red pepper flakes. All this mixed with pasta (thin spaghetti). Comfort food!

Now on to the next week...
