Yahoo! We’re back into CSA season! I write the weekly crop sheet for my CSA, so Fridays will be full of posts with recipes featuring the vegetables being produced just 15 miles from my house!
Here’s this week’s crop sheet:
Hello Salt Creek Farm Members!
I’m so glad to be back into the season of yummy local vegetables. If you’re new to the farm, let me give you a little information on what to expect from these cropsheets. Each week you can pick up one of these handy guides at the drop site or save some paper and have Lee and Doug e-mail it to you. You’ll see that you get a list of what’s in this week’s share, some news from the farm, a few words from me about vegetables or local eating or some other topic that I think might be of interest to you and at least one recipe that uses veggies from this week’s share!
Early in the season, you can expect a lot of greens, so I’ll start with recipes that focus on kale and chard and the salad mix we get each week. If you have ideas for ways to use your vegetables or recipes you’d like to share, by all means, send me an e-mail and I’ll add it to our collection. You can access all of the recipes I’ve shared over the last year and a half and any I share this season by coming here to my blog and clicking on the “recipes” tab. It’s a little geeky, but quite handy. I’ll be sure to share something new there each Friday.
To start the season off, I thought I’d share a recipe I tried a few times in the last couple of weeks.
And, here’s where I pasted the braised greens tacos recipe from a few posts back. You can just click right on that link to get there and see a picture too!
And, for farm members, if you leave a comment on this post before next Friday (June 6th), I’ll put you in a drawing for a copy of one of my most favorite cookbooks: Vegetarian Planet.
Sorry readers from afar, this give away is only for locals. I promise to do something for everyone sometime soon.
So, tell me your best ideas for using greens.
I am so excited about our farm share this year. We had our first child, a baby girl last June and I’m so excited to feed her farm fresh veggies this summer! We’ve been making a sort of braised greens mini pizzas w/ ww tortillas and yummy chunky tom. sauce along w/ chicken breast…well really we just put left overs on it and top it w/ the greens…so yummy. hope i win the cookbook!
