Week 10 of Awesomeness

Unlike last week, this week resulted in some awesome meals.


Green leaf lettuce
Romaine Lettuce
Eggplant
Slicing cucumbers
Cherry tomatoes
Green chard
Dill
Zucchini mix
Garlic
Red potatoes
Blackberries


While Christina was still gone for the first half of the week, I decided to make some more delicious foods. 

The green chard went into last week's Swiss Pasta. 

All of the other greens went into salads for the week




Then I decided that we needed some Pesto for the week and so I made a hazelnut/almond basil pesto.


Finding use for the pesto was exciting. Eating pesto on crackers and bread was delicious but we also decided to put some of it onto some farfalle pasta.


Then came the most exciting meal for the meal. The absolute best lasagna we have ever had.
It was an Eggplant/Zucchini Lasagna. We took a found recipe and made it even more awesome.



The additional Dill went into many many many jars of pickles that we canned.



The Summer Squash went onto two pizzas. BBQ/Squash/Onion/Pineapple pizza and also a Alfredo/Squash/Mushroom/Onion pizza.

This week's wonderful ingredients resulted in some absolutely fantastic meals. 

Mostly Solo Salad-Filled Week 9

This was a pretty unexciting week in the CSA world. Christina was out of town for the majority of this week and so it was up to me to make use of our food. This week's box included:
  • Little Gem lettuce
  • Red Leaf lettuce
  • Diva cucumbers
  • Carrots
  • Walla Walla onions
  • Beefsteak tomatoes
  • Italian Parsley
  • Corn
  • Strawberries

Before she left, Christina was able to eat some of our corn made old fashioned style with butter, salt, and pepper.



Other than that, salads and repeat recipes was the way this week went.

First off was daily salads with our wide variety of lettuces, tomatoes and cucumbers. I also used some of the onion and parsley in there as well.

In addition to the salads for lunches, I also ate our carrots bugs bunny style,

I also made an exciting return of the Swiss Pasta. Farfalle with sautéed onions and swiss chard, freshly shredded Gruyere and Jarlsburg cheeses with a variety of seasonings and fresh herbs.

Solo Week. Done!
