Ideas for Food Prep:
- Roast the beets to have on hand
- Go ahead and pre-wash your arugula! Make sure you’ve got salad dressings on hand.
- Trim the greens off your radishes and turnips. Wash the greens, so they can be cooked spur of the moment. Or cook them and have them available to add to recipes.
- Wash the turnips and radishes to have on hand for snacks.
- I like to prebake some sweet potatoes to have on hand. They’re great for snacks, and it makes it easy to throw in things like salads and hashes.

Please read! If a recipe can very easily be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free using simple substitutes like non-dairy spread, vegetable stock, gluten free pasta, 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, honey 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!
