After much talk, we finally made the decision to join a CSA (I know, we're a little late to the bandwagon - oops!). Each week, I'm posting about what we got and what we made with it. Read more here.
WEEK 12
We got:
- Potatoes
- Onions
- Lettuce
- Pac Choi
- Beet Greens
- Popcorn
- Apples
- Cucumber
- Strawberries
WEEK 13
We got:
- Salad mix
- Carrots
- Zucchini
- Hakurei turnips
- Cilantro
- Kale
- Apples
- Strawberries
- Tomato
We made:
- Sauteed hakurei turnips and braised greens
- Sponge cake with strawberries and whipped cream
- My favourite stovetop popcorn
- Zucchini lasagna with lentil sauce (similar recipe here)
- Shrimp tacos with guacamole, curtido and cilantro
- Walnut kale pesto
- Grilled pac choi (bok choy)
Stray observations:
- We had Adam's family over for dinner when I picked up WEEK 12's share, so I forgot to take a picture. Oops!
- I know I've shared this popcorn recipe before, but it's worth mentioning again. I usually cut the recipe in half (it still makes plenty of popcorn) and use two tablespoons of oil to one heaping 1/3 cup of kernels. I've used coconut oil and veggie oil, and both are delicious. I add salt when the kernels are popped and leave it add that. A little healthier, and it still tastes great.
- I love how joining a CSA has allowed us to discover new foods and recipes. I made the hakurei turnips for my brother, his wife, and my mom, and everyone loved them.
- I'm officially obsessed with making pesto. It really couldn't be easier, and it's such a great way to eat your leafy greens. I've been freezing the leftovers in mason jars, which makes mid-week dinners even easier to prepare.
