Man, I love having a produce box! Wednesday night we picked up our box and it was already late, so we made a fast dinner of bell pepper, onion, and black bean tacos, with green salad.
I later had some of the bean and veggie mix without a tortilla, and with a little cheese on top, and it was really delicious.
Tonight I made ranch chicken in the IP (from scratch: I used Penzey's ranch seasoning blend and some chives, then when it was cooked I stirred a mix of yogurt and sour cream into the liquid to make it creamy. I topped it with some diced tomatoes.) I also made lemon-garlic green beans and we served those with rice, which was great for soaking up the sauce in the chicken. This will feed us for a few days at least; tomorrow we will have the same thing with a green salad, and maybe some yellow squash. (We usually have a green salad with dinner, but skipped it tonight because I was tired.)
I usually plan to first cook the softer veggies that go bad quickly, before I took the hardy veggies that last a bit longer. So the green beans and yellow squash need to go first.
I think this weekend we will get some lean ground turkey and try making our own turkey Italian sausage, because we have some banana peppers and I found a recipe suggesting that they can be stuffed with Italian sausage and roasted or baked.
