I can't believe it's been a whole month already! So far its been a lesson in new types of greens and trying to eat all of our fresh veggies and fruits before they go bad. I think the only item that's still in our fridge from last week is the green chard.

It turned out very mild and very moist, which are both attributes I was looking for as I'm a bit under the weather and plan to freeze some slices to re-heat later. I think the next time I make this, I'll use only 1 1/2 cups of almond milk and try a goats milk cheddar cheese.
Week 3 offered a ton, let me repeat, a ton of leafy greens. So I've had to really up those dishes this time.
We've found ourselves a bit tight on funds recently and have also been having a hard time finding some gluten free basics that we depend on. So in addition to receiving our bi-monthly produce deliveries we've started ordering a lot of products in bulk. It took me a bit to find all of my favorite sources, but I've been pretty successful now, so I thought I'd share!
Inspired by the Gluten Free Ratio Rally awhile back, I finally decided it was time to covert the pancake recipe that I remember from when I was small. It's that recipe by which I judge all pancakes I ever eat by. These gluten free pancakes were inspired by Gluten Free Girl & the Chef's recipe from the rally and the pancake recipe I grew up on, were the best gluten free pancakes I have had so far.
I made this the frustrating way by using baby beets and thumb fingerling potatoes that we received in our CSA-ish box. I do not recommend using small beets and small potatoes to make this dish as it will take you more time to skin them and you'll have to be much more careful when it comes to your fingertips!
Our second week's worth of farm fresh fruits and veggies arrived and I have to admit, I was a bit confounded with this bunch. Nothing in this box made me feel particularly inspired. Luckily, I know about a week ahead of time what's coming in the box, so I had some time to brainstorm.
