Let's Eat More Vegetables in 2025

Including long-cooked broccoli toasts, bread-and-cheese-stuffed squash, and vegan collard greens.

Hey everyone,

As I may have mentioned, I recently joined a CSA (recommended in Christine Muhlke’s newsletter) called Farm to People. I put a pause on it when we went to Washington for Christmas, but this Monday a new box arrived and I was astounded and slightly overwhelmed by the giant mass of fruits of vegetables I received for just $45.
