The Box Meal Plan: May 15th

Blueberry Peach Salsa

-Blueberry & peaches are a great combo for a variety of dessert dishes, but they also work well for savory dishes. Use this salsa for chips or as a topping for grilled chicken. If you don't have Aleppo pepper, mix equal parts paprika & cayenne as a substitute.

Strawberry Syrup

-Strawberries are almost done for the year, so this recipe ensures you will have some strawberry flavor for at least a little while longer. The corn syrup (not high fructose) called for in this recipe is the Karo syrup found at all grocery stores. Use this for your kid's strawberry milk or as a topping for pancakes.

 Pickled Eggs & Onions

-Strong flavors abound in this recipe, but pickled eggs and onions are a wonderful delicacy for those that can handle it. Like all recipes we post, these pickles don't require canning.

 Cucumber Water

-To call this a recipe would be a bit of a stretch, but it doesn't change the fact that it is quite possibly the most refreshing drink ever. The recipe says 2-3 slices, but feel free to use much more if you like the cucumber flavor. With a half a cucumber, you can refill 4-5 times before the flavor starts to dissipate.

We want your thoughts on this, so send us a quick email to tell us what you think.
