Slow cooker – Root Veggie Stew

I should use my crock pot more often. Ir’s over 10 years old, holds 2.5 quarts, and is perfect for doing a couple of meals.  Having some leftover beets, purple potatoes, carrots and frozen celery on hand, I decided to toss this together.  For the spices, I absentmindedly threw in tumeric, chili powder, paprika, ground coriandor, bay leaf, chili pepper flakes , salt and basil. Oh and of course, green lentils.

This week's CSA delivery

I decided to try something new this summer.  I signed up for a CSA (community supported agriculture) share.  This week I got: flowers, sorrel, mixed salad greens, swiss chard, potatoes, green onions and garlic scapes. Had a nice salad for dinner.

 

Veggies!
