This week was our last week of our CSA. I knew there was no way I'd keep up with all these veggies when the baby arrived, so we pre-arranged to cancel our membership early. This week, the 1/2 share had cantaloupe, jalapeno, banana pepper, new potato, garlic, onion, cucumber, green pepper, green onion, eggplant, corn, red cabbage, some herb and (what I think is) a lemon cucumber. Also, I found a good use for all the cabbage...BIEROCKS! They are a German Meat Turnover (although my German friends hadn't ever heard of them). I used ground turkey instead of beef. And they combine some of my favorite things...
1) Something that our whole family can eat! (as long as the bread dough is dairy/egg-free)
2) Something that can be individually frozen & eaten later.
3) Making good use of CSA Veggies
4) Finally using up food from the freezer! (Frozen Bread dough from these Calzones!)

I don't know if you received the same herb that we did but we have dill. Not really sure what I am going to do with it yet.
My husbands family is german and they love to make bierocks. They are delicious! you are in my prayers these last few weeks as you wait for little miss priss!
Hello! Thanks for your food allergy tips for my meeting next week. I really appreciate it! I love reading your blog even though I don't usually leave comments.

Thank you SO much! I had a head a cabbage from my CSA and had no idea what to do with it, as I am not a big cabbage fan. I made these tonight and my neighbor, Josh Henderson, and I gobbled them up. A few variations I made that were GREAT...
For the meat, all I used was salt, fennel sead, garlic and onions. Instead of worstershire (cornsyrup), I dropped some blackstrap molasses and vinegar in there. GREAT flavor. For the dough, I found a GREAT recipe for whole wheat calzone and pizza dough (VERY tasty and easy and just so happens to be vegan).
