CSA #11

I was really excited to see the produce this week in our box.  We got watermelon, heirloom tomatoes, red potatoes, corn on the cob, grape tomatoes, blackberries, carrots, summer squash, garlic and some cabbage!  The heirloom tomatoes are so pretty, I have to find something delicious to do with them.

Suggestions?

CSA #10

This week we got some pattypan squash, wax beans, tomatoes, grap tomatoes, red potatoes, black berries, grapes, corn on the cob and another melon of some sort.  

CSA week #9

This week we got some delicious corn on the cob-which we grilled.  Green beans and onions (green bean casserole recipe to come!) zucchini, red potatoes, cucumbers (made some pickles), cabbage, grape tomatoes, blackberries and a canary melon (which baby boys devoured).  

Good week!

CSA #(6 or 7 maybe)

This week in our CSA box we got some delicious blackberries, grape tomatoes, corn on the cob, yellow summer squash, red potatoes, cabbage, green beans and an onion!

I was excited about this week's produce, and I've already made a few things using it.  I've made a squash and grape tomato pasta, roasted green beans, and grilled corn on the cobb with cilantro-lime butter.  I'll have recipes coming soon!

CSA #2 (&3)

This week (and the previous week-not too much was different, and I forgot to take a photo), we got some romaine lettuce, broccoli, peas, kohlrabi, strawberries, green onions, kale and squash.

With the Kale, I made one of our favorite meals so far, kale and potato enchiladas.  

I made an attempt at some kohlrabi fries, but I wasn't huge on it.  The strawberries and snow peas were eaten raw, the squash got sautéed with some onions and tomatoes, the green onions were used in multiple random things, broccoli got roasted, and the romaine was used in our tofu lettuce wraps.  

CSA #1

Romaine Lettuce

Green Onions

Bok Choy

Scapes

Carrots

Easter Egg Radishes

Strawberries

Unknown Type of Lettuce

With both types of lettuces, I made simple salads.  The strawberries were so delicious, we pretty much ate those the same day I brought them home.  I didn't get to use all of the green onions, so I froze some.   I attempted to make a pesto sauce using the garlic scopes, but they were rock hard and I could not puree them into a sauce.  Major fail.  

I chopped up some of the raw radishes and mixed them with quinoa, green onions, and some greens for a quick lunch.  I dressed it with a cumin-flavored vinaigrette made of cumin, lime juice, white wine vinegar and olive oil.  It was delicious.

I also made some radish chips, which turned out ok, but not great.  I wasn't a huge fan of the bitterness of radishes mixed with sweetness of honey and cinnamon.  Toss sliced radishes in a mixture of honey and cinnamon, and bake at 375 for about 15 mins, until they are baked up crisp.

The carrots were my favorite.  They were very earthy tasting, and really good.  I roasted them with olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary, ate them alongside a BBQ bean burger.  

For the bok choy, I braised it in beer with sliced zucchini for a quick dinner after work.  It was very easy and yum.

Can't wait for next week's box!!
