Farm Box Delivery - 11/15/2017

Here’s what I received from Farm Fresh to You (FFTY) on 11/15/2017, and my menu plan built from that list, based on the planning methods mentioned in this post.

Produce	Recipe
Baby broccoli	This will probably end up being a Thanksgiving side dish. Gotta have something a little plain and green on the table. Or maybe not. In any case, broccoli never has trouble getting eaten in our house..
Orange sweet potatoes	Leek and goat cheese quiche with sweet potato crust I had an idea about using the leek and sweet potatoes in a tart of quiche so started Googling around. This recipe caught my eye because shredded sweet potatoes are used for the crust, while the leeks (plus goat cheese, always a winner for me) go inside. Sold! I think I will modify the recipe to be more milk and fewer eggs, though, just because I prefer my quiche to me less frittata-like. This ended up being tasty, but not a repeater. The quiche filling ran out through the crust (luckily I had the tart pan on a sheet pan!), even though the crust was blind baked for 30 minutes. And even though it was well-baked, the crust had a disappointing soft texture.
Bok choy	I am definitely making Grilled Pork Loin Gochujang Marinade with a pork loin I got at Costco (came in a two-pack, so I will double the marinade and freeze one loin), and bok choy simply sauteed with sesame seeds and ginger will make a nice side dish
Leek (1 GIANT leek)	See #2
Rainbow carrots	I roasted a pound of curry carrots to go with some Indian food the other night, so I don’t think I will plan anything specific for these carrots. They are nice to have on hand as a staple.
Green leaf lettuce	As always, will be prepped for salad for work lunches and dinner accompaniment
Fennel	When the first fennel arrives, I can never resist making this: Tuna, Fennel, & Lemon Salad. There are a few ripe Meyer lemons on the tree, so the timing is perfect
Rainbow chard	Butternut squash & chard lasagna. I prefer my vegetarian lasagna to have bechamel instead of ricotta, so I will probably do a hybrid of the this and this recipe. I have lasagna noodles in the freezer that I need to use up, made from the leftover pasta after I made sweet potato ravioli a couple of weeks ago. I loved this, but Joe has decided he can only eat butternut squash and/or pumpkin once a year. I told him we will be discussing this further. :|
