Missing the CSA

Hey Guys. If you haven't noticed, I have not yet signed up for my CSA, Avalon Acres. I'm a huge fan of the csa, we have been traveling a ton, so I just haven't gotten around to it. Plus, we had high hopes for our garden, and the csa is a lot of work. And a lot of veggies. But boy have I been missing it! I haven't been motivated to do lots of cooking, or try anything new. But my sister-in-law gave me her CSA share this week! Yeah!!! It's like a field day around here. It's amazing how much the csa changes our diets in my household. I'm not very motivated to buy green beans, but when they are sitting in my fridge, I think, "Okay...it's green beans for dinner tonight!" And I love the creative challenge of scouring cookbooks to find out what I can do with carrots, beets and potatoes. I would have never been inspired to make Borscht Soup otherwise.

And I'm so glad I have a history of the CSA on my blog. This is what we got in our box this time last year. Like I've said, it's different every year.

So for a recap...This week the CSA included potatoes, green beans, blackberries, carrots, kohlrabi, zucchini, pattypan squash, lemon cucumbers, corn, squash & a purple green bean.
