CSA Haul

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

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 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
