Kohlrabi Hash Browns

Here's a recipe we tried last night that tasted really good!

The towel that you dry the kohlrabi with will have a lingering odor the next day even if it's left outside to dry :)

Asian Sugar Snap Peas

Technically an appetizer, but we had it with dinner last night along with steaks and a salad (with our CSA lettuce and snow peas, among other toppings).  It tasted great but will probably use a little less olive oil next time.  They still kept some of their crunch and tasted great.

Week #3 - June 9, 2011

This week's share was broccoli, kohlrabi, turnips, green onions, swiss chard, lettuce (and lots of it), and cilantro.  We're still working on last week's lettuce so it's going to be a lot of salads this week although we did bring some to my in-laws this weekend.  You can only eat so many salads!

Salads and kale chips

It's been a little busy this week so we've been enjoying all the great lettuce from last week in salads with broccoli, kohlrabi, and radishes over the fresh lettuce and arugula.  We picked sugar snap peas and snow peas on Monday so the girls have been munching on those as a snack. 

I tried kale chips again and they turned out a little better this year but I think they still need some work.  If anyone has any suggestions for something different, let me know.  Preheated the oven to 400 degrees.  Mixed season salt with olive oil and tossed with bite size pieces of kale.  Baked in the oven for about 10-12 minutes until some of the leaves started looking a little brown. 

Stir fry is sounding good for tonight!

Dill & Salad

A picnic on Thursday and Tae Kwon Do testing on Friday meant that we didn't get to enjoy any of our veggies until today.  But the lettuce mix made a great salad before our evening bike ride/date night and the dill is all frozen away in cubes.(http://www.preservingyourharvest.com/FreezingDill.html) 

Week #2 - June 2

A big share this week!

Broccoli
Kohlrabi
Radishes
Pac choi
Kale
Lettuce
Salad mix
Arugula
Spinach
Fenugreek
Dill
Sugar snap peas (Mike's going to pick these on Monday)

Turnips, Radishes, Lettuce, and Greens

Tonight's dinner included

• Turnips, radishes, and bell peppers tossed with olive oil and seasonings and cooked on the grill.  (We need to get more practice with grilling veggies!)
• Turnip greens and rest of braising mix cooked similar to sweet & savory kale recipe (also on our burner on the grill)
• Lettuce and remaining arugula made a great salad.

Can't wait to see what tomorrow's CSA share will bring!  Hopefully plenty of grill-friendly foods as we haven't turned on our AC in the house yet.  Mike and I both recently read No Impact Man and thought some of it was pretty interesting so we are going to try the No Impact Experiment next week.  A documentary about their year is also available and is streaming on Netflix. While we aren't going to cut the electricity off completely, we decided we would leave the AC off next week and didn't want to get used to it this week only to turn it off.
