1 bag brussels sprouts

1 butternut squash

1 sprig rosemary

1 bunch marjoram

3 cucumbers

15 small potatoes

7 carrots (purple, yellow, orange)

5 purple spring onions

1 head red lettuce

1 head cauliflower

4 blood oranges

6 kiwi

8 tangerines

The Other Stuff:

Here's the best pork roast ever, made with ingredients from the box:

That crazy-good rub was made with garlic, rosemary, fennel seed, smoked salt, and pepper, per instructions in this week's meal plan.

A lot of the things that came this week are new to me, so I'm excited to see how everything works out. If you can believe it, I've never cooked a beet, green garlic, butternut squash, or four of the seven items in the grocery box. I'll let you know if I discover anything cool!
