Working out

My knife and cutting board got in a good workout this evening!

Looking at my produce box, and all the vegetables and fruits that I had that I have "plans" for... I decided to go on a food preparation "binge".  I am surely glad that I don't work in the kitchen as a job!

What did I prep?

Sweet potatoes - for roasting and french fries
Brussel Sprouts - for roasting with the sweet potatoes
Kale - to be included in a soup
Tomatos - to be included in a soup (big ones) and for a salad (grape tomatoes)
Garlic - for a soup to be made tomorrow, and some added to salad
spring onions - for soup
cucumbers - for salad
Watermelon - just a mini one! for snacking
Strawberries - both from the produce box, and from a nearby farm where we picked them fresh
Romaine Lettuce - for salad, and for sandwiches (possibly)

Whew!  I didn't realize we had so much produce, until I started cutting... thinking it would be 30 minutes... and I didn't finish until an hour and a half later!

Just a preview to what you may see in Wordless Wednesday this week:
