CSA Share, Week 8

July 23rd, 2008

Lettuce mix, young chard, a bunch each of onions and beets (that will not be going into brownies, but maybe cake?), basil, cilantro, three yellow squash, two cucumbers, four ears of corn (much bigger than last week), green beans, and a single, beautiful tomato.

I am very excited to have Chick in the Kitchen mentioned in the newsletter from Roxbury Farm this week! Jody, one of the farmers, included my Marinated Raw Summer Squash recipe and let me know she made a vegetarian version of the Baked Egg Rolls as well. I love hearing that people have had success with recipes posted here.

    I’m a Roxbury member, too, and am enjoying your ideas for using the share each week. I’m looking at the cilantro, tomato, onions, corn, and chard, and am thinking maybe tostadas.

    I heartily recommend the beet cake. I can’t believe how good it is. I’m making another one tomorrow (in sheet, rather than layer form) for our CSA’s potluck on Saturday.

    This looks beautiful–like an old Dutch painting!

DaraI'm Dara, the chick in the kitchen. Living in the suburbs of Manhattan with my two boys, ages 2 and 4, and husband. Trying to feed my family something more diverse than a different shape of pasta each night. Reach me at .

Want to Try

Mini Caramel Apples: J. makes "apple grapes" for A. by using a melon baller on a Red Delicious. This idea goes one caramel-dunked step further -- perfect as an autumn snack activity.

Cook to This

"Rocketship Run" by Laurie Berkner. From her new album. We've only listening to it a couple of times, but this track keeps popping back into my head. (And sometimes I forget to turn it off when the kids aren't even in the car.)
