CSA meals of the week

I mentioned a bit ago that we had signed up for a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) share at Earthwise Produce.  This has given us some great fresh produce and allowed us to broaden our horizons on what we eat and cook.

The first week had a box including: eggplant, onions, cabbage, celeriac, tomatoes, potatoes, basil, and carrots.

With all that we were able to make some tasty meals this week.  Now we always plan out our meals before the week to help with the grocery store trip and meal prep.  With this added produce, it makes me get creative and look up new recipes to try.  This last week we had:

Biggest surprise of the week?  We LOVED the celeriac.  I cooked it up with potatoes and added a little cream and butter and it was delicious, no other seasoning needed.
