Today, we stir-fried two vegetables that were just harvested from a local farm. First, we introduced our coop members to Chinese Broccoli, aka gai lan, a popular Asian vegetable. We prepared it with a delightful ginger sauce.
We also prepared stir-fried romaine lettuce with garlic.
Here are the recipes.
Today, we prepared fried rice and served it wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves.
Here are the recipes.
Today, our Coop organized several demonstrations for children. Strider, our produce manager, asked us to take advantage of a new shipment of cantaloupes from California and baby spinach from our neighboring town of Farmington. Kathy, our grocery manager, asked us to use a soy milk product on promotion.
To combine the various themes, we prepared three kid-drawing dishes:

the spinach into a creamed sauce, and the soy milk into a honeydew smoothie. Kids and grown-ups relished the results.
Here are the Horchata de Melon, Pasta With Creamed Spinach, and Honeydew Smoothie recipes.
