Week 13 of 2010

This week marks the halfway point of CSA season – that makes me a little sad. We get 25 weeks of vegetables and then week 26 we pick up our 40 pound winter storage box. It’s been a great year so far, I’ll just look forward to the second half!

We got….
Acorn Squash, Broccoli Rabe, Carmen Peppers, Green Beans, Salad Mix, Tomatoes – Beefsteak, Small Red, Roma
Fruit - Nectarines

My plans…

Acorn Squash
My Kabocha Squash from the farm was in need of some attention, so I cut it up and roasted it the other day. That is in the freezer. I also roasted it’s seeds. I’m thinking of combining the Kabocha and the Acorn Squash to make this, especially fun because it puts the seeds to use.

Broccoli Rabe
This side dish with roasted peppers looks good.

Mmm…I might not have enough peppers right now – time to head to a farmer’s market.

Green Beans
I love this one pot chicken casserole. It has green beans, oh and peppers!
