This week’s CSA has more zucchini, beets, carrots, fennel, onions, cucumbers, lettuce and a patty pan…never heard of that, but we’ll see what can be done with it…Looks like most recipes stuff them…kind of hard to do with one patty pan!??!

With so many cucumbers, let’s make some pickles.

Another weekend away, so we’re a bit late posting the meals for this week. CSA had zucchini, beets, lettuce, cucumbers, peas, onions, fennel, dill, and strawberries.

1. Pork Tenderloin with Apricot-Fennel Ragout
2. Sausages sliced into Crunchy Spring Salad with Dill
3. Grilled Zucchini and Sausage Kabobs
4. Cold Beat Yogurt Soup with Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
5. Beet Green and Mushroom Frittata

We’ll also use up some zucchini and bananas on this Zucchini Banana Bread.

Last week I–an admitted disliker of cauliflower–went out on a bit of a limb and selected a recipe that called for cauliflower: Cauliflower Cuscus with Paprika Shrimp. Not because we had CSA cauliflower and I was trying to figure out what the heck to do with it, but because I was looking for a shrimp dish and it caught my eye. Before I forget, or it gets lost in the long list of delicious recipes that I still need to write up, let me say that we all loved this and if you, like me, are a bit skeptical of cauliflower, give it a try!

OK, this week’s CSA: strawberries (they’ll need eating soon!), cucumber, zucchini, broccoli, lettuce, bok choy, cabbage, peas, dill, onion.

1. Avocado Cucumber Salad with Steak Tacos and White Refried Beans
2. Sausage and Broccoli Calzones
3. Shoyu Cabbage Soup
4. Spaghetti with Peas and Zucchini Ribbons
5. Brussels Sprouts Salad with Apples, Cranberries and Gouda, adding grilled chicken
6. Venezuelan Stuffed Corn Cakes

A bit of a small batch of veggies this wee from the CSA: Lettuce, braising greens, carrots, cabbage, fennel, onions and parsley. Not sure why there’s not much there, but hopefully they pick it up next week.

For Easter breakfast we’ll make Blueberry Cream Cheese Danishes.

The CSA had a nice bunch of flowers this week along with carrots, beets, broccoli, cabbage, salad mix, Brussels sprouts, collards, dill and peas.
