Day 6

So the week is almost finished, and I still have 2 bags of salad greens left! Really, I'm getting a lot of veggies for our money. Seth should be home in a few weeks, so that will help things along. Anyways, today I decided to use up the kohlrabi, and some of the onions in a puree. I also steamed broccoli and sprinkled with sesame seeds, garlic and chili flakes. Spices are a great way to add flavor without adding too many calories. If you're looking for a lower calorie version of the recipe below, try substituting chicken stock for the heavy cream. Kohlrabi Puree (Hidden in Mashed Potatoes)
1 Kohlrabi, trimmed and cut into 1 inch cubes
2 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 box button mushrooms
1 Walla Walla onion or 1 cup, minced
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup heavy cream
-Boil kohlrabi and potatoes in boiling salted water until fork tender, approx 20-30 minutes.
-While the vegetables are boiling, saute mushrooms and onion. Add to drained boiled vegetables and whip with a mixer or puree in a blender. Pour into a serving bowl and stir in the cheese and cream. Serve!
