Default Veggies in my fridge

I have a MASSIVE amount of organic veggies in my fridge. It's several weeks of CSA stuff (plus another person's from one week.)

Most of it can be cooked/frozen (the greens). Some of it can just be frozen (cauliflower etc.)

SO please me.

If I do nothing, it will rot. I have NO space in my fridge because it is FULL of veggies............

Have you made soup, yet? Are you adding veggies to your omelets and sauces? Of course you can freeze some of it, too.

Oh...love when my is full of veggies.

Yummy veggie loaded quiche, you can puree things like cauliflower to add to recipes like eggs, sauces. stir-fry can use up a bunch, salads (of course), veggies in casseroles.

Hope you got some used up tonight!!

Lots of soups. Lots of stir-fry.

I'm vegan and hubbie is a lacto-veg. We eat veggies every day. The CSA share, however, is 'veggies for four'.

We pick up each week on Tuesday afternoon, so I *try* to cook up any 'left over' veggies on Tuesday morning in anticipation of the fresh veggies.

I've just gotten a bit behind.

Plus, with these there are parts that either wouldn't come with the veggies in the store (like the cauliflower greens), or parts that I don't normally eat from store veggies (like the radish greens), so there's 'more' to prep/eat than if I had bought the veggies at the store.

Tonight we had soup with onions, turnips, daikon radishes, cauliflower, cauliflower greens, chinese cabbage, and I added a couple cans of beans for some extra protein.

It *smelled* like a cruciferous veggie nightmare when I was cooking it , but it tasted

Fortunately, they are picked from the ground the day we get them, so they are super fresh and keep quite a while in the fridge.

I still need to take care of:
2.75 chinese cabbages
6 (or so) bunches of broccoli + greens
a couple bags of salad greens
a bunch of carrots
a bunch of daikon radishes
a bunch of turnips
1 head red leaf lettuce
several bags of small leafy greens (mustard, radish, turnip etc.)
2 large bunches of kale
1 bunch of collards
(there may be more, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head)

Sunday will be a busy day.

me to go away if you see me on GCM

Get those "Green Bags" that keep veggies fresh longer. I got some and they actually work!

It's cold here so I would make soup and use up the diakon radish, the cabbages and throw in a few other things. I am going to be starting a juice fast soon so I would use alot of the stuff for that

Broccoli goes so nicely in broccoli chz casserole (vegan w/nutritional yeast sauce, rice or barley and homemade vegan cream soup )

I am getting hungry now. In the winter, we are not as fully of veggies as the summer so I would love it if I had all those veggies.

FUN!

Our favourite miscelaneous veggie soup recipe starts with four-ish tomatoes and 3 cups of water on medium heat. Then I chop up an onion and anything that needs to be eaten soon. All the hard veggies go in first along with whatever spces I feel like (cinnamon and cumin for an african feel, cinn and curry powder for S Asian, basil and oregano for Italian), then after a bit in goes the rest, except greens. Then when it looks done I add the greens and a can of chickpeas and let it cook until the greens are soft . Day 1 it's soup. Day 2 add more water and risotto rice. If there's anything left on day three you can make it a casserole or put it in wraps for sandwiches.

How's it coming?
