Week 35 - Late

Thanksgiving week and all the cooking involved left me a little uninspired for the box that we received later that weekend.  In combination with the need to deliver a big project at work, I got really behind on a lot of things last week.  Since we ate thanksgiving leftovers well into the week, I planned a few recipes but not too many meals with the ingredients in the box.  Despite my planning, I was not able to carve out time to get anything published to the blog.  So, here's week 35 a week late.

In the box this week

 (top) lettuce, spinach, kale, celery

(bottom) butternut squash, carrots, green beans, apples, avocados, persimmons, strawberries

Recipes for the week

• Challah french toast with fresh Strawberries and Apples
• Spicy Kale and chickpea stew
• Guacamole to enjoy with leftover turkey tacos
• Apple butter (I purchased a few extra pounds of apples at the farmer's market)

The colors of the week's box were so amazing.  While I wasn't feeling the desire to spend a lot of time in the kitchen after thanksgiving week, the beauty of the box reminded me how much I enjoy this experience; from the raw materials to the end products!
This week's title is inspired by the song of the same name by Ben Folds.
