IMG_9823The CSA returns! The spring season started up this week and we got quite a bit of stuff, though I didn’t get the list, so we’re working from my limited ability to identify some things…Turnips vs rutabagas? Anyway, I think we’re working with: Cabbage, lemons, rutabagas, Brussels sprouts, beets, carrots, collards, fennel, bock choy, broccoli, chard, and arugula.

Meals for the Week, Feb 14-20

Sorry we missed last week–too much going on. We’re also in a break between seasons for the CSA, so no CSA until March. I guess that lets us revisit some old favorite sites and back off on how in the heck am I going to use daikon–though I must say the cheddar bacon daikon fries are really good. I’ll try to keep up the veggie content. That’s one thing we had noticed withe the CSA–when you plan meals around the veggies you have, you end up with more veggies in you meals than when you add them in to try and round out the meal.

  1. Mini Fennel And Prawn Spring Rolls
  2. Skillet Chicken Tamale Pie
  3. Sausage, Kale  and Mushroom Galette
  4. Broccoli and Beef 
  5. Gnocchi with Bacon and Escarole
