Pasta Caprese

After all of that talk about late blight, we’ve been getting tons of beautiful tomatoes from the CSA.  I think they taste better, knowing that they were at risk. This recipe is the perfect showcase for summer tomatoes.

Happy News! (And World Peas CSA – Week Eleven)

I have a new nephew!  He made his way into the world yesterday at 10:15 pm.  Mom, dad, brother, and sister are all doing well!

Yesterday was also CSA day…

Fennel & Carrot Slaw

Seeing as summer is almost over, I should tell you about the best slaw ever.  What makes it the best slaw ever?  Fennel, one of my favorite flavors, and a lack of mayonnaise.  Oh, it’s easy too.

A mish-mash of a post – World Peas CSA – Week Nine, a recipe for Sweet & Sour Eggplant (sort of) and a confession…

Today, while I was staffing the Lowell Farmers’ Market, I was reminded that I haven’t updated in a long while – hi, Michele – this one’s for you!

I’ll start with this week’s CSA share – it’s week nine, smack dab in the middle of the season. We got:

World Peas CSA – Week Eight / UTEC Fresh Roots Baked Goods CSA – Week Four

First the bad news…

There isn’t a picture of this week’s Fresh Roots offering.  We got four whoopie pies, two mint and two regular.  Just picture in your mind four of the biggest, loveliest, most mouth-watering whoopie pies and multiply that by a deliciousness factor of at least ten, then insert that image here.  That should do…

This week’s fruit and veggie share was pretty amazing. I love August because I always wonder how such a small box…

…Can contain sooooo much produce!

Corn Griddle Cakes

It’s corn season here in Massachusetts which means that as CSA members, we’ll often get six ears in a single week; I love corn on the cob, but that’s a bit much for me.  I actually found this particular recipe as I was browsing cookbooks for recipes to pass along to my CSA for their newsletters/veggie guide.  Once I saw it, I knew I’d be testing it out once corn season arrived.

World Peas CSA – Week Seven / UTEC Fresh Roots Baked Goods CSA – Week Three

My healthy fruit and veggie CSA box contained water spinach, Chinese broccoli, lettuce (given to Heather), green beans, summer squash, cucumbers, carrots, new potatoes, green onions, eggplant, corn, blueberries, raspberries, peaches, and flowers.

My not-as-healthy baked goods CSA box contained these beauties…

Pan-Fried Polenta with Corn, Greens & Goat Cheese

Another recipe from the spectacular Vegetarian Planet – you seriously should own this book!  This recipe is perfect for all of the CSAers out there – it uses three different vegetables, including greens.

World Peas CSA – Week Six

No veggies on the counter picture this week, Gist picked up the share and put everything away.
