Help!!! What did I just buy at the grocery store??

Go on allrecipes.com. You can search for healthy meals using the items you have in you bought. I love this site and use it all the time. You can even make a profile and save recipes or make shopping lists based on what you picked. Also The calorie info is all there.

Find a site like allrecipes.com and search the ingredients. You may have make a bigger commitment that you needed to at once but hey, like you said, having it around is a good motivator. Since you bought so much I would look for simple recipes or ways to incorporate it into the way you usually eat, such as making eggplant parmesan minus the breading, steaming the squash and mashing it instead of mashed potatoes, making a dip or slicing the avocados to put on salads.

I just throw everything into the blender.

I have leeks, turnips, eggplant, zucchini, cucumber, a green squash, cherry tomatoes, parsnip, tomatillos, jalapeno pepper, radishes lemons, onions, spinach, avacados, blueberries, oranges, apples.
I also bought tahini paste and garbanzo beans to make hummus!

Leeks can be made into potato leek soup. There are high and low fat versions of that available.

Turnip and parsnip can both be roasted or mashed, you'll be able to treat them fairly similarly. You can also boil them.

Eggplant and zucchini can also be treated similarly. I'd be tempted to make a vegetarian penne with them, maybe so low fat cottage cheese in addition to be sort of a "lazy lasagna". They can also both be cut into chunks and panfried and added to pasta. Best way I have had them is roasted with olive oil and then add them to pasta.

Tomatillos and jalapeno tell me that mexican food is in your future.... the avocado would be good with this as well. Maybe have it all in wraps or over rice. Add beans for some protein.

Spinach can also be used to make green monster drinks or in the "lazy lasagna" type thing I mentioned above.

Radishes tend to be salad garnish.... and lemons are good for adding to chicken dishes or fish, I find. The rind of the lemon is also good grated in things. Sometimes I add lemon and ginger to stirfrys.

Hope this helps a bit.

Spinach can go in just about anything. I use spinach in every meal I cook to boost my iron as I am a vegetarian. I also love to take any and every vegetable hangin' around, sautee or steam them, toss with rotini and add skim milk mozza cheese for a very tasty pasta dish...my dinner last night

Think you're about to have a lotta fun! Good for you for being so ambitious! Time for a dinner party...

I always add eggplant to spaghetti or lasagna. You can also sautée it with EVOO and Italian seasoning for a side dish. Add the fruits in with your cereal or oatmeal. Spinach is awesome with scrambled eggs.

You could roast a bunch of that stuff in the oven with a little olive oil coating. That would help it last a few days and also be delicious as a side dish or with a little vinegar over some salad greens. Or mix a bit of your tahini with some lemon for a nice dressing for the roasted veggies. Tahini is good with eggplant and lemon (roast egglant, mix= baba ghanouj)

Zucchini makes a fun veggie "pasta" if you cut it into strips and saute lightly or microwave briefly. Top that with some of your tomatoes and you're good!

Parsnip can be steamed and mashed.

Leeks like a good long saute.

Radishes with a splash of vinegar can make a great snack!

Good luck! You've got a lot of good stuff!
