After Market

After the Market on Saturday we came home and unloaded the vegetables that didn't sell at the market which we then use as a basis for meals during the week. For example for Saturday lunch I made a salad using half a bag of mixed cut lettuce (6 varieties), half a bunch of spring onions (4), and a kohlrabi (peeled and shredded). I added some local cheddar cheese although usually I sprinkle crumbled Feta cheese on top. Total cost $2.75, excluding the cheese, for a family of four!

Saturday dinner consisted of more vegetables: beet greens, 1 red and 1 green onion plus the tops, 2 Chinese kale (broccoli) and a pound of snow peas along with a can of locally caught tuna that we processed last summer in the pressure canner. Total cost for vegetables $5.25; not including the beet since that will be used in another meal.
