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,

CSA Week 17

Today’s haul was a pumpkin, hot peppers, potatoes (a double batch), carrots, golden beets, and some delicata squash (a double batch). My favorite dish from last week was Liberian Pumpkin out of Simply in Season. Not only was it a great use of last week’s pumpkin, but it also had some of the week before’s

CSA 2010 Week 16

Today’s haul was a pumpkin, yellow string beans, broccoli, potatoes, colored carrots (I swear one is a parsnip, but it wasn’t labeled as such), tomatoes, and winter squash (they look like delicatas). I’m very excited that it’s back to winter squash season again. The hit of last week was the leeks, which I used in

CSA 2010 Week 15

Today’s haul was: leeks, collard greens, celery, Hungarian hot peppers, fennel, tomatoes (2 pounds!), cabbage and green beans. It’s quite suddenly turned fall-like around here, and my cooking has suddenly turned to comfort food. I’ve been sitting on the last two batches of potatoes that we’d gotten, and those went very well with this Warm

CSA 2010 Week 14

Today’s haul was: broccoli, a tiny zucchini, the cutest little pattypan squash, string beans, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cantaloupe and fennel. The string beans are already blanched, and are currently curing in the freezer on a cookie sheet for an hour before I pack them away. The only notable thing I made with last week’s haul

CSA 2010 Week 14

This week’s haul was patty pan squash, a ginormous zucchini, potatoes, two pounds of tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and a pound and a half of green beans. I’m thinking of freezing at least some of this batch of beans, and the tomatoes are going to be made into gazpacho tonight (so it has a full 24

CSA 2010 Week 13

Today’s haul was: garlic, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, red peppers, and romano beans. Last week, I used the string beans to make Thai Green Beans from Simply in Season. I made it without the tofu, and it was a great side. The cabbage became cole slaw that we had with Simply Recipes’ Sloppy Joes
