Our family has joined a CSA this year, which means bounties of seasonal veggies!! This is super FUN but it can also be a challenge to find ways to incorporate say, TWO LARGE BUNCHES OF RADISHES into our meal plans THREE WEEKS IN A ROW (so far we have only given away one bunch and have managed to eat the rest, we haven't wasted anything yet)! Last week we had a major success on Thursday night with three veggies: spinach, green onions and spinach all in one dish, yes a recipe with THREE seasonal veggies, WINNER WINNER STIR-FRY DINNER!!!
