Happy snow day everyone! It feels officially like winter now. Luckily all of our plants are safely tucked away in our high tunnels, safe from the snow. And since the tunnels have pitched roofs, the snow slides right off and we don't have to worry about them caving in. Here are some cozy recipes to accompany your snow day!

What We're Eating

White Bean and Mustard Green Soup

My mom made this simple, nutritous soup with escarole when I was growing up, but this week we tried it with mustard greens and it was delicious! This can easily be made vegetarian, and is best served with crusty bread. (Recipe from my memory and adapted from Bon Appetit.)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup chopped onion

1 large carrot, cut into small dice

5 large garlic cloves, peeled, flattened

3 cups (packed) 1-inch pieces mustard greens (about 1 pound of stir fry mix)

4 cups (or more) chicken or vegetable stock

3 1/4 cups cooked Great Northern beans or two 15-ounce cans cannellini (white kidney beans), rinsed, drained

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in heavy large pot over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot and garlic and sauté until onion is golden and tender, about 7 minutes. Add 4 cups broth and beans and bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and simmer about 20 minutes. Thin with more broth, if desired. Add stir fry mix and cook until slightly wilted. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.

Quick Pickled Purple Daikon

Here's a recipe for pickled purple daikon radish that sounds delish! We love adding radishes to any plate for fire and pepper-i-ness. Pickled radishes bring the added elements of sour and tart, and we love adding the flavor packed delights to salads, sandwiches, soups, and grain bowls.
