This week, it was easy to pick a theme with Valentine's Day on the calendar. It has long been a tradition for my husband and me to make dinner at home together, rather than trying to find a babysitter for a mediocre meal out. With the colorful assortment of produce in this week's box, I thought it would be fun to plan our valentine's meal using these ingredients as the foundation. Given that two people can't eat all of this at one setting, I also looked for other 'love' inspired recipes that would make use of the box's goodness throughout the week.
In the box this week
(top) lettuce, kale, marjoram, spinach
(bottom) parsnips, fennel, radishes, oranges, avocados, apples, celery
Meals/recipes for the week
In case a couple of the recipes seem mysteriously placed on this week's list, almonds are a symbol of fertility throughout many ages and societies and, well, I'll leave you to guess as to what the Aztecs thought avocados resembled. Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!
This week's title is inspired by the song of the same name by Phoenix.
