This week’s recipes:

I love the idea of making Cauliflower Kale Hummus Bowls for a modular weeknight dinner that lends itself to some exceptional leftovers. You can make the hummus and roasted veggies in advance and just combine to serve. Send your loaded hummus bowls over the top by roasting some eggplant, ground beef, or anything else you're craving! Add-ons: ground beef, olive oil, chickpeas

Back in September, Milena wrote about her obsession with the Celery Caesar Salad from Coppa in Boston: "They haven't shared their recipe, but you can work with this knock-off and make it your own. You can achieve killer textural contrast by working with the delicate inner stalks and using the outer, crunchy stalks for ribbons or cut on the bias skinny-skinny! Use our sandwich bread for croutons, too." Add-ons: sandwich bread, grated parm

ALL THE GREENS

Dandelion greens are an offbeat selection that works as well in salads as it does cooked. The taste is slightly bitter & peppery, similar to arugula. Here is some Dandelion Green inspiration with a myriad of options on how to use these tasty, nutritious greens. I will be using mine in a frittata, maybe with my potatoes!
I love to make Korean Scallion Pancakes from my scallions. In quarantine, everyone was regrowing scallions, which is a great trick to make sure they're always on hand! 🤯
Make the most of your Green Curry Paste with a Green Curry, of course! Use the technique from this recipe, but choose any veggies you like, including eggplant, green beans, and potatoes! Add-ons: Coconut milk, Tofu

Sounds crazy, but it ain't: You can make a silky, rich, and nourishing green smoothie out of your avocado and banana. You don't really need a recipe for this, but I found one for you here anyway! This one uses your kale for an earthy nutrient boost. You got kale too!

CANT BE BEET

These Beet Burgers are vibrant, delicious, and so, so easy. Add-ons: burger buns, tofu

Look at the color on this bright pink Beet Risotto! Add-ons: Arborio Rice

THE PEAR-FECT DUO

We're giving you two different fruits this week you might not know much about: Hachiya persimmons and Seckel pears. Amazing Fall fruits and luxurious, hard-to-find treats. Both the rich, beautiful persimmon and the tiny, very sweet pears should be eaten when fully ripened, so let them sit on your counter until juicy and soft. You should have enough of these for snacking, or to make a few wonderful galettes!
COMFORTS TO EASE A STRESSFUL WEEK Shepherds Pie is the epitome of cozy, homey, and easy food. You can add whatever veggies you like in here, like your green beans, or any carrots you have left over from last week. Garnish with chives like a top chef, baby! Add-ons: ground beef, bacon

A nice restorative soup sounds great as we reach the middle of a difficult autumn. How about Patricia Well's Pistou Soup? Or a super simple, leek-packed Chicken Soup. Add-ons: white beans, eggs
