The Box Meal Plan: May 29th
Stone Fruit Preserves-The shelf life of a good peach, plum, or nectarine is incredibly short. They go from just right to a pile of mush in no time flat. This recipe makes sure your stone fruits don't go to waste by giving you great refrigerator preserves that are great on toast, pancakes, or dolloped on some yogurt. Peach Blueberry Cobbler-Forget healthy dishes, this is what peaches & blueberries are made for. Toss on a scoop of high quality vanilla ice cream (better yet, go get a pint of gelato from La Divina Gelateria) and this is heaven.
Ratatouille-Ratatouille is a classic french dish which really amounts to nothing more than a roasted vegetable dish. Substitute green peppers for the red peppers called for in this recipe. Roasted Cherry Tomato Pasta Salad-The cherry tomatoes in the box are already sweet as sugar, so roasting them takes them to the next level. Add in some salty kalamata olives and a squeeze of lemon dish and you got yourself a dish.
