My fridge is finally returning to normal after the glut of Thanksgiving dishes last weekend.  This coincides nicely with the arrival of winter greens here in Austin, since big leafy greens take up a lot of fridge real-estate! In this week’s Local Box I’m getting delicious citrus along with three types of greens: turnip greens, bibb lettuce, and bok choy.  This will be my first time preparing bok choy, so I’m going to try a simple preparation with idiot-proof instructions from Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen, one of my favorite food bloggers. It’s not in the local box, but I’ll be eating Challah from UT’s Chapter of Challah for Hunger tomorrow night. This is the last week of the semester those guys will be baking, so I don’t want to miss out on the last loaves of the season. 🙂  Happy cooking, friends!

Here’s what’s coming in my Local Box from Greenling:

• Assorted Peppers – Lundgren
• Tangerines – Orange Blossom
• Watermelon Radish – Fruitful Farm
• Bok Choy – Naegelin
• Bibb Lettuce – Bella Verdi
• Green Beans – Naegelin
• Turnip Greens – Acadian
• Rainbow Carrots – Animal
• Cilantro – Acadian

Here’s what I’m making:
