This week's box included:
Little Gem Baby Romaine
Sweet Slice Cucumber
Basil
Fresh Garlic
German Butterball potatoes (not pictured)
Red onions
Rainbow Chard
Blueberries
The romaine and cucumber were great in our daily salads. Having a CSA has really helped increased our daily veggie intake greatly. We regularly take salads for lunch or eat them as sides for dinner. The blueberries were included in a yummy 4th of July berry shortcake dessert treat for a friend's bbq.
With the basil we decided to make into good ol' fashioned pesto. No recipe needed - just basil, olive oil, parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, and a touch of salt n pepper. It was a great pre-dinner snack throughout the week.
Bearclaw and I decided to use these potatoes for another cheesy potato dish attempt. This time, we got the potato size perfect, but we lacked proper cheese coverage :) Third try will be the charm, and we'll include a recipe!
Lastly, Bearclaw sauteed the extra garlic, red onion, and chard. He added gruyere and emmentaler cheese to the veggies and tossed it with pasta and spices.
The result? An absolutely delicious cheesy pasta meal that lasted us all week! This was a great box and it was easy to use all our veggies.
