Sugar Snap Peas, Calcot Onions, Agretti, Rapini Greens, Radishes, Swiss Chard, Dill, Baby Carrots, Strawberries This was a great week, there were lots of our favorites in this box. The radishes and carrots went into salads. The onions were grilled and served along with mexican dinner. The strawberries were snacks as usual. I must admit I haven't used the greens yet. I am planning to make a pasta dish tonight with the rapini, sun-dried tomatoes and parmesan. I used some of the dill in a fresh salad dressing. There is still some left for another use. … [Read more...]

Celery, Spigarello, Red Leaf Lettuce, Cabbage, Bull's Blood Beet "Greens", Cilantro, Chantenay Carrots, Red Butter Lettuce, Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes. I'm so sad to see the end of the CSA season quickly approaching. We get our last box this week on Wednesday! Yes, I know I'm behind getting the weekly photo up but I had company in town last week! I was happy to see both potatoes and sweet potatoes. Although my son doesn't like potatoes, I do! I made a great Sweet Potato, Kale, Tomato soup the day after we got the CSA share. The inspiration recipe comes from Rachel Ray a few years ago. It is usually make with regular potoates and spinach. I substituted sweet potatoes the first time I made it. This time I swapped the spinach for Kale. It is even better with Kale! My son even liked it!  I will post the recipe in the next few days! The celery will be eaten as is and used with our Thanksgiving turkey! The carrots will be snacks and salad toppings. Actually they already have been, … [Read more...]

Green Leaf Lettuce, Cauliflower, Belgian White Carrots, Butternut Squash, Mixed Beets with greens, Artichokes, Tomatoes, Potatoes. Wow is that cauliflower gigantic. I have never seen such a huge one! I will roast it in the oven just like I did the last one. It was so yummy and easy! We were excited to see the artichokes this week. We really like them and it's been a long time since we got them in the share. I will post a recipe for marinated grilled artichokes later in the week. They are great! The lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and beets will go into salads for the week. Some of the potatoes have already gone into a fritatta that I made for my mom and sister who are visiting this week. It turned out really great. The rest will probably just be baked to go as a side one evening. The butternut squash will be made into a soup. Butternut squash soup is one of my husband's favorite things! I will post my recipe for that as well once I make it. It may not be this week though, we are … [Read more...]

Collard Greens, Sugar Pie Pumpkin, Early Girl Tomatoes, Scallions, Mixed Summer Squash, Red Jalapeno Peppers, Strawberries, Fennel, Romaine Lettuce Great box again this week. I still can't believe we've gotten strawberries nearly every week this year. They are amazing strawberries, we've been SO lucky to get so many! The sugar pie pumpkin will be made into a pumpkin pie for sure. My son LOVES pumpkin pie and we've all been looking forward to pumpkin season. I dove into the fennel right away, making spaghetti sauce the first night. It was great. Not sure what I'll do with the 2nd half. The fronds will be added to salads over the week. We are big pepper fans around here so the big bag of red jalapenos was exciting! I used 2 in the spaghetti sauce the first night to give it a kick. I used 2 more in the Thai Spring rolls I finally got around to making last night. The rest will go into a fresh salsa and guacamole over the weekend. The tomatoes will be used in salads and join … [Read more...]
