So lately, we have been making some really amazing things with our CSA veggies, and mostly vegetarian dishes that can be served as main courses. With our CSA share, we have made fried red potatoes, a zucchini/pepper/eggplant “tart,” a tomato salad, and a tomato and eggplant pasta sauce made from scratch. First, my husband, Chris, […]
So I made some delicious BLTs this week with the lettuce and tomatoes we got. I really enjoyed them, but now I wish I tried this Bacon, Lettuce and Plum recipe that appeared in the NY Times on Wednesday. Maybe this week . . .
This week, feel the love with our first featured COUPLE, Darren and Dara. Who are you? I am Darren, who are you? I am Dara (yes, we have similar names). What do you do? Darren: I’m still clinging to ‘recent graduate’ as a title; I got my BA in Metropolitan Studies at NYU. I’ve got […]
Well, it’s been a gluttonous couple of weeks. After vacation, I am trying to eat healthier and spend less. It’s time to stat making more meals at home. Luckily I have a full pantry and lots of good produce from the CSA every week. I was really happy about the fruit share this week. I […]
We did some cookin’ last week. Grillin’, choppin’, bakin’. Both my neighbor, Angela (who splits a share with us) and I made strawberry shortcake. It is true—the strawberries we got were so sweet I did not add any sugar to the strawberry topping. There is nothing more simple than a biscuit that is made of […]
Aside from the usual salads, we didn’t do anything super spectacular with our share. I think, the thing I love most with kale is sausages. This is a classic recipe (also sausages with broccoli rabe) that has been written up numerous times on various blogs, including this vegetarian recipe. One good twist to this dinner […]
This week, we welcome member Nicole Fabri to the “What I Did With My Share.” Read more to find out how she feeds her family with her CSA. The Fun of Being in the Kitchen What joy that our CSA has finally started and we are getting fantastic fresh and nutritious vegetables every week! I […]
I realized this week how abrupt my transition from “winter food” to “summer food” has been. It’s not that we haven’t eaten any fresh vegetables during the winter months, but that much of it has been mostly savory, sauteed and/or cooked. Even the fresh stuff doesn’t seem memorable. This past week we received 10 ounces […]
Uh, well, we were a little flaky with our veggie share last week. I don’t know what we ate, but it wasn’t a whole lot of vegetables. My husband made a saute mix of chicken livers/gizzards from a BoBo Chicken with some kale, cremini mushrooms that came out kind of weird so I’m not even […]
