Eating Ideas:
  1. My new favorite is to simply slice the turnips and drizzle them with tamari. A great salty and crunchy snack.
  2. Arugula Guacamole: Simply add arugula to your favorite guacamole recipe for a extra kick.
  3. Baby Boc Choi: use this in place of cabbage in a Pepper Cabbage recipe. This idea was given to me by a market customer.
  4. Baby Boc Choi Coleslaw: Substitute the cabbage with baby boc choi and use vinegar, oil, red onion and cilantro. Mmmmmmmmmm.
  5. Pesto: Use the basil tops this week and substitute pistachios for the pine nuts. This idea was also given to me from the same market customer.
