Tomorrow is the day I pick up my farm box (more on this tomorrow), but I already have quite a bit of produce that needs to be used up. I really need to make one or two things that can clear out the refrigerator, so I can clean it before I fill it again tomorrow. Although I pretty much hate this job (especially when something has spilled and dried, like now), but I love it when I am able to open the sparkly fridge, and be able to FIND everything, and know that nothing I choose will give me food poisoning, lol. I guess you have to trudge through the muck to get to the sparkle, eh?
Here are some of the things I know I need to use up:
- fresh lemons
- tomatoes
- fresh spinach
- corn on the cob
- shredded and baby carrots
- pickling and regular cucumbers
- bell peppers of all colors
- green onions
- mushrooms
- grape tomatoes
- peaches
- potatoes
After looking at the list, I think I can break most of it down into 2 dishes: a marinated vegetable bean salad, and a vegetable soup. I still have plenty of stew beef in the freezer from the 1/4 cow I bought a few months ago (I had no REAL idea it would be THIS much meat, lol) so veggie beef soup sounds good. I’ll update with my recipes later.

Make me some homemade pickles! You can do it. I love a garlicy dill pickle and a so does your brother! It’s not like we don’t have mason jars. 🙂
I’ll think about it. I got some more today.
