It’s the market before Thanksgiving and we hope you’ll take the opportunity to pick up some organic veggies for your Thanksgiving dinner! With potatoes, cabbage, and turnips still aplenty, we’ve been searching through recipes to find some good options to incorporate these ingredients into our Thanksgiving dinner and wanted to share some of our finds with you!
Mike is a serious cabbage lover and, as a result, we decided to increase our cabbage production this year. We eat cabbage in tons of different ways, from traditional cole slaws, to topping for tacos, to stir-fries. We’re always looking for new methods of incorporating it into meals, so are really looking forward to trying this Roasted Cabbage with Walnuts and Parmesan from one of our favorite blogs, Smitten Kitchen on Thanksgiving!
I’ve really come to enjoy the purple-top turnips we had a bumper crop of this year. I’ve found them to be excellent when paired with potatoes. The turnips complement the potatoes by helping to decrease the overall starchiness of the dish while the potatoes help to mellow out the slightly stronger flavor of the turnips. I’m excited to try this pairing in this Potato and Turnip Gratin recipe for Thanksgiving dinner.
We look forward to seeing you at the market this Saturday (we’ll be there rain or shine!) and hope that your Thanksgiving holiday is filled with family and fun.

November 21, 2019These are wonderful recipes and we love this new take on cabbage and the turnip-potato combo. I’m sorry we won’t be able to visit the market before Thanksgiving, but we are thinking of you and your prosperous year. Have a great holiday!

November 21, 2019Ditto Barb. I’ll be trying both. The cabbage one reminds me of that awesome brussel sprout recipe
you guys first had at that restaurant in Philly. Lots of good foods still available & we’re excited to
have another 2 weeks after this. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Miss you.
