CSA 2011, Week 6

This week’s haul was: Swiss chard, kale, salad mix, turnips, scallions and garlic scapes. We didn’t have garlic scapes last year, so that’s new and exciting. We also had beets as an option, as apparently it’s shaping up to be a very good beet year, but only the red ones are ready at the moment, […]

CSA 2011, Week 5

Today’s haul was: broccoli rabe, spinach, arugula, four adorable little heads of lettuce, a peony, scallions, kale, and strawberries. Highlights from last week’s cooking were a Swiss Chard, Ricotta, and Sausage Torta, which was perfect comfort food on a cold, rainy Saturday, and yesterday’s dinner of Green-Curry Chicken with Peas and Basil where I not

CSA 2011, Week 4

This week’s haul was: peonies, spinach, baby bok choy, salad mix, Swiss chard and scallions. The best thing I made last week was this tuna and radish salad, made with garden and CSA radishes, garden parsley, and CSA salad mix. It was lovely earlier in the week, when it was warmer. I’ll probably be making

CSA 2011, Week 3

This week’s haul was: Swiss chard, radishes, spinach, basil, salad mix and two peonies, which are perfuming the entire house as I speak. We’ve already made use of the salad mix and basil in today’s sandwich dinner. The best meal from last week was a combination of last week’s spinach and the week before’s potatoes,

CSA 2011, Week 2

This week’s haul was more turnips, mesclun, spinach, a head of lettuce, and Swiss chard. The turnips also have greens this week, which is pretty exciting (I love baby turnip greens). I also got a few more radishes out of the garden. There are couple left in the pot, with lovely greenery, but next to

Thanksgiving

We had a quiet Thanksgiving at home this year with my mother, younger brother and the BF. BF decided he wanted to go straight to the leftovers and do turkey sandwiches for the main meal, so we only cooked turkey breasts so we could get straight to the meat. I scored some of Scratch Bakery’s

CSA Week 21, The End

Wednesday’s haul was: cabbage, potatoes, broccoli, baby bok choy, green peppers, hot peppers, carrots, garlic, and celery. The two noteworthy recipes I prepared last week were Chickpea, Spinach and Squash Gnocchi from last month’s Eating Well, a really good dish cooked out of my store of CSA delicata squash, and Farfalle with Golden Beets, Beet

CSA Week 20

Today’s haul: carrots, golden beets, butternut squash, potatoes, sweet peppers, Swiss chard and lettuce. It’s hard to believe this was the second to last pick up for the season. I think we’ve definitely dined well through the growing season, and I was pleased to discover a few items I hadn’t tried, but definitely enjoyed. This

CSA 2010 Week 18

This week’s haul (with even poorer photo quality than usual due to the copious amounts of rain streaming down as we speak) was: cabbage, green peppers, carrots, baby Swiss chard, baby bok choy, a butternut squash, and fennel. Notable recipes from last week include Southwestern Stuffed Acorn Squash, which I prepared with delicata squash instead,
