Farm Box Delivery 11/1/2017

Here’s what I received from Farm Fresh to You (FFTY) on 11/1/2017, and my menu plan built from that list, based on the planning methods mentioned in this post.

Produce	Recipe
Baby broccoli	Garlicky Roasted Broccoli is my favorite way to use broccoli as a side dish. Pureeing the garlic with oil keeps it from burning in the hot oven and distributes the flavor throughout the entire dish.
Orange sweet potatoes	I did not end up making pumpkin ravioli last week. Instead, I held onto that pumpkin and will double up on #7 this week (the pumpkins being delivered are quite small (under 3 pounds), so perfect size to make 2 stuffed pumpkins at once). So, since I do still want to make some ravioli, I will make make Mark Bittman’s recipe for sweet potato pansotti (which are basically ravioli). I love sweet potatoes in savory applications (I have never understood using it as a side dish while adding sugar and marshmallows). This recipe involves Parmesan, eggs, and salt & pepper in the filling, then gets served with a browned butter and sage sauce.
Celery	A kitchen staple that gets used in so many things. Always like to have this stashed in the fridge. I think it keeps the longest wrapped in foil.
Cilantro	Food 52’s Green Sauce (substituting cilantro for parsley) because it’s a great way to use up an excess and it freezes well. Think of it like pesto. It goes with so many things!
Nantes carrots	In the hopes that it will be soup weather soon, I will make some form of pasta e fagioli (Tuscan bean soup), which welcomes all kinds of produce including any greens on hand, carrots, celery. Last time I made this in my InstantPot, which worked well.
Romaine lettuce	Will be prepped for salad for work lunches and dinner accompaniment
Sugar pie pumpkin	Definitely this: https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/pumpkin-stuffed-with-everything-good-361169 I have never made this but my dear friend Samantha has brought it to group meals and it’s delicious! It’s not in the recipe, but Samantha always adds greens, so the kale will go in here.
Yellow onions	Always happy to receive onions in the farm box, since they are a kitchen staple.
Green kale	No kale in the last box, so Joe will be happy to see its return this week. See #7.
