I can’t wait until Tuesday! Due to all of the special meals for Thanksgiving, Christmas and our annual New Year’s Eve Party, I discontinued my farm box for a month or so. Since we serve so many traditional meals, I had to be sure that I was purchasing the items I needed. And, I had much less flexibility to make meals from whatever arrived. But, I am ready for the box to return…I must be, I am blogging about it on Thursday…with still 5 days to wait!
According to the Farm Fresh to You website, here is the list:
18 cnt Satsuma Mandarin Orange
6 cnt Gala Apple
4 cnt Navel Orange
4 cnt Meyer Lemon
3 lb King Richard Leeks
2 bu Nantes Carrot
1 cnt Romaine Lettuce
1 cnt Butternut Squash, winter
1 bu Brawley Red Beets
1 bu Bunched Broccoli
1 bu Assorted Kale
1 cnt Bulb Fennel
I will keep you posted as to how it all turns out. Anybody have any favorite recipes for fennel they would like to share? That is the curve ball in this box. 🙂
Blessings to you!
Diane,
Fennel is one of my favorites. Raw, it’s like celery with an anise taste- so you can put it in any green salad. And, I love to roast it with a little evoo, s & p. The flavor mellows, it’s a great veggie alongside chicken or fish. I look forward to seeing what you do with it!

Thank you Karen! I appreciate the tips! 🙂
I once had potatoes au gratin with gruyere cheese and slices of onions and fennel baked right in alongside the potatoes… so yummy! Not the healthiest option for using it, I guess, but delicious nonetheless! 🙂
Amber, that sounds really yummy! I might have to try that! 🙂 Thank you for the suggestion! 🙂
