Ideas for Food Prep:
- As I say every week, you might think about braising some or all of your greens (kale, turnip greens, beet greens)
- Wash any greens you want to use for salads, so they’re ready to go.
- Cut up the carrots and radishes to use for snacks
- Roast some beets to have on hand
- Have salad dressings (homemade or bought) on hand
- Go ahead and prep the fennel. Cut up the bulb, use the stalks in soup, chop of the fronds for salads or garnishes

If a recipe can very easily be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten free using simple substitutes like non-dairy spread, vegetable stock, gluten free soy sauce or a small amount of gluten free flour, or by leaving out an ingredient, I’ve coded them with that in mind. If they include things like mayonnaise, eggs, milk or large quantities of flour, I haven’t coded them as such. I don’t have experience using things like egg substitute, non-dairy cheese or subbing in gluten free flours. Please double check the ingredients for your own safety!
