What I ate this week (from my farm share)
We are members of a CSA (Community Support Agriculture). This basically means that we purchased a share in a farm for the growing season. Each week we pick up a box of produce that contains whatever is being harvested at that time.

Last Wednesday we received:

Beets
Cauliflower

Broccoli

Summer Squash
Basil
Strawberries


Here's what I did with all those fruits and veggies.

  • Wednesday we ate the strawberries and they were delish. Picked that day and warm from the sun. I also made whole grain pasta with some of the basil and broccoli.
  • Saturday I made a salad for a potluck and added grated carrots (from the previous week) and raw beets.
  • Sunday we grilled the summer squash and ate along with pork chops
  • Monday we had the leftover grilled squash along with quesadillas
  • Tuesday I made brown rice pasta with chicken, tomato sauce, and cauliflower (which I steamed before adding it to the pasta).
It's sometimes a challenge to figure out how to consume the abundance of vegetables we pick up, but it's a good one to have!
