CSA Week 8: Bring on the Veggies

I can’t believe I didn’t even post on my blogiversary. Lame, I know. Truthfully I had nothing to say. I sort of had an off night in the kitchen last night and I haven’t been sleeping well so I was pretty grouchy. It’s probably for the best I didn’t bother posting, but I do thank [...]

CSA Week 7

This week we got such a cute haul from the CSA! I also hit up the farmer’s market and bought some local organic mozzarella and two gorgeous looking tomatoes, but I chopped them up before I took a photo.
Our goods:

pea shoots
basil
wax beans
baby eggplants
jalapeno
shallot
3 small green bell peppers

I immediately let my friend Tessa know about [...]

CSA Week 3 & Other Local Vegetables

Last weekend when we were visiting Brent’s family I demanded Brent’s mom offered me some of their asparagus, which Brent’s dad grows in his “garden.” They live on seven acres and his garden is actually bigger than my backyard, so he’s got quite a bit of good stuff growing in there.
Monday night, I used this [...]

CSA Week 2

I’m a bit behind on sharing with you all, but I figured it would be easier just to start where I am rather than back track. Yesterday was our pick up day for our CSA and we got some new veggies!

Clockwise from top left:

Greens, swiss chard I think
Pea shoots
Lettuce mix
Oregano
Garlic scapes
Tomatoes
Rosemary

Brent wants BLT’s with the [...]

Fresh & Flavorful

Tonight was like our Friday because I’m going out of town tomorrow to visit my family and attend a bridal shower. Obviously tonight’s dinner need to include the bounty from the CSA, but I also wanted pizza and cocktails! Like I said, it’s like Friday.
Our “first course” was a fresh, flavorful CSA salad [...]

CSA: Week 1

Brent and I joined a CSA this year, although Brent is pretty hesitant about it. I don’t think he enjoys the mystery of not knowing what we’ll be eating week to week as much as I do. I’m very excited about getting fresh, local, 100% organic produce every week! Our first week’s share:

Lettuce
Dill
Apple Mint
Pea Shoots
Cookbook

There’s [...]
