Soup of the Week – Creamy Kohlrabi Carrot Edition
What do you do when you have three CSA kohlrabies left in the crisper drawer that need to find a better purpose in life? Make soup! I intended to make these amazing kohlrabi crostini again, but just haven’t yet. It will happen. But now that I know everyone in the house will eat kohlrabi, I can…

Soup of the Week – Creamy Basil Zucchini Edition
Saturday. That means it’s time for Soup of the Week! I have another really simple summer vegetable soup for you this time. Much like the summer squash soup, this one is fast and easy and helps take care of the copious amounts of zucchini you may have in your possession. Or basil. This one was…

Life Lessons in the CSA Box
I can’t believe I ate okra. Okra. You know that weird green slimy stuff that goes in gumbo? Yeah. I ate it. And I liked it. Here it is hanging out with the rest of this week’s goodies – that weird looking purplish-red stuff near the top. Apparently okra comes in more than one color.…

Soup of the Week – Summer Squash Edition with a Berry Bonus
I love soup during the fall and winter months. My Mom does Soup of the Week at her house in the winter; make a big batch of something wonderful and keep it on hand for meals all week. We did that here this winter, but I never figured on getting hooked on soup in the…

CSA Pickup Day Pasta
I’ll bet you’re thinking that this pasta is going to have tons of farm-fresh veggies in it. Nope. Actually, none. But we’ll get to that in a minute. Pickup has been a lot of fun. We are seeing a much wider variety of veggies in our CSA delivery lately. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen cabbages,…

Soup of the Week – First Summer Edition
I know what you’re thinking. Who makes soup in the summer? Aside from the rather obvious choice of gazpacho, does anyone really think soup in the summer? Apparently, I do. I wasn’t actually thinking soup when I found this one. I was thinking “what the heck am I going to do with all of this…

It’s Not Easy Having Greens – CSA Update
We picked up our fifth week of CSA veggies today – not sure how it’s possible that we’ve been doing this for over a month already! I’d be lying if I said the amount of greens and lettuce was totally manageable…the early weeks of the CSA are clearly heavy on greens and not a whole…

Pinterest Meets the CSA Box
This week’s CSA box had some lovely prizes…more red leaf lettuce (absolutely beautiful) and a big bag of mesculin salad mix, three small heads of broccoli, a bunch of Swiss chard, two bunches of kale, three kohlrabi, a small bunch of beets (disappointing – was so hoping for better in this department), garlic scapes, and…

CSA Pickup Day
Today we drive to “the farm” to pick up our weekly CSA share. It’s a real farm – there’s really no reason for the quotes other than the fact that we toss around the term as though we’re real farmers or something. We’re not. But we are definitely enjoying the bounty that comes from our…
