CSA 2010, Week 10
August 13, 2010
I had a new helper with my farm share pick-up this week, my sweet neighbor who is just about to turn 4. My kids were at Camp Grandparents, but the two of us had a lot of fun feeding the animals anyway!
We received a quart of Golden Rave tomatoes, a pint of Juliet tomatoes, 6 ears of corn (the corn is so good this year!), 2 cucumbers, some basil, an eggplant, a cantaloupe, 2 green bell peppers, 2 red Carmen peppers, a huge head of lettuce, and green beans.
A huge bunch of swiss chard was also part of this week’s haul, but we fed it to the goats. And now that one weeks’ worth (out of many) has been sacrificed, I feel ready to tackle it again next time we receive a bunch.

No Dara, YOU were the sweet one – to take Jack for me and bring him along to your CSA pick up – especially when you were kid-free!! He had a blast, and you are the best!!

Have you seen the recipe I use for chicken, corn and chard enchiladas? It is really good:
Corn & Chard Stacked Enchiladas – they are even made in the crock pot.
Also, this was really nice:
Baked Swiss Chard Stems with Parmesan Cheese which was a good way to use up the chard stems.
We eat it sauteed with olive oil and garlic and in soups and have gratineed it a few times, like creamed spinach.
