    I finally made kabocha last night! I was out-of-town for a couple weeks and was overloaded on veggies so it was bumped to when I returned as it kept well. I don't have any pictures and only roasted it, but it was really good. I've only seen it at the Asian grocer but would definitely buy it again.

    This is done with leafs and stems from couple heads of cauliflower. Stuff that usually people throw away. Simply strip, toss in some evoo and spices and throw on the grill. When charred toss in tahini sauce and too with chili like cod fillet. Cooking head to toe or root to leaf is my way of eating.
    Plant based ftw.

    The stems of broccoli are my favorite part! So tender and mild!

    Yes, it’s always this messy, and yes, I’m always this bad at taking pictures.
    But fridge is full of good things! Prepared salad for when I come in tired and Hangry!
    Bagels, blueberries, usually pineapple but I ate it all, lettuce, a potato and some chicken I made double when I baked last night.celery, bag of broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. some fruit cups and cottage cheese.
    Not as much produce as some, but I’m set!

    OK, I'll play, but it's not really fair because . . . .
    03ft1gb4km5b.jpg

    . . . I hide a bunch of good things down in the basement, in here:

    v4dp7dn2ec25.jpg

    Refrigerator: Lemon cucumbers, celeriac, romaine, kale, cabbage, pickles, raw sauerkraut, cremini mushrooms (yah, should be in paper), oyster mushrooms in there somewhere (in paper ;) ), onions (I know, I know), lemon wedges, roasted eggplant, fresh brown fig, blueberries and green bell pepper (that I remember).

    Chest freezer: Lentils, black beans, winter squash, giant bags of basic veg (green peas, corn, cubed root veggies), giant bags of mixed berries and sweet cherries, some frozen avocado mash.

    Counter: Apples, cherry tomatoes.

    And there's still a pantry closet, the fridge freezer, and some nice bushy fresh perennial herbs growing out back.

    Overkill!

    Those strawberries look so pretty they would fit in the original picture. Also look so good if I came home tired and saw those, I would definitely reach for them instead of candy or chips. Good diet trick.

    Wow all you guys have full fridges haha. Maybe cause I'm single I don't have too much in there plus I go shopping few times a week.

    You're not the only single person. Some of us are just . . . acquisitive? aspirational? ;)

    Since I posted, I found a stray cousa squash in mine, and a small green kohlrabi. They hide - ideally not tooooo long. ;)

    I’ve always loved the ‘bones’ of romaine...
    I don’t usually buy romaine, but if someone else is prepping and cuts them out, I’ll eat them faster than they cut ‘em :)
