Menu: Birthday Wishes

CSA week 15
This is week 15 for our CSA, only 3 more until we have to bid it farewell until next summer. We’ll be buying a smaller box since the full size one was just too much food for 2 people! Which is fine because the smaller box is $7 less a week which will save us $100 over the season!

I’ve been working hard at Christmas crafts so still a bit light on cooking but I should be finished with my projects in 2-3 weeks. Below is the CSA contents and menu.

6 ears sweet corn
1.5 pounds potatoes
1 red kuri squash

2 watermelon radishes
2 bunches arugula
2 green peppers
2 jalapeno peppers

3 peaches
6 mini plums
3 apples

Menu: Running Routine

Welcome to yet another week we’re I’m running kinda slow on updating! I’m trying to work on being more reliable about posting while I’m also trying to alter my diet, up my exercise, and finish 13 Xmas presents in 4 weeks. You can see how that’s turning out (not to mention the usual social, work, and life issues along the way!) Below is the CSA contents and a “working menu”. I’m going to try and turn the corn in to not creamed corn but…I’m merely human and creamed corn is delicious. Continue reading

Menu: Bounty!

After finally getting our peaches under control (deliciously) things are more easy to manage with the CSA this week since I feel like we can use/freeze/eat everything we got. I still have a jar of pickled beets to send home too but I really hate the post office so that will have to wait.

Jump below for the CSA list and menu for the week. Continue reading
