Double the Fun–and the Food (CSA Menu Plan #56)

Published on July 14, 2016 By Emily. Updated on July 14, 2016

I continue to be in love with having a CSA share.  The quality of the food and the variety of options is amazing, and I definitely appreciate the lack of work required on my part.  However, it is definitely not as convenient as going to the grocery store.  Even though our summer is much more flexible than the rest of the year, it can be tricky to match our schedule with the CSA pick up times.  This week we opted to do a double pick up on Tuesday, covering both last Friday and most of this coming Friday’s shares, allowing us to do other things on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

The Pick Up

IMG_6191

kale (x2), arugula, lettuce, collard greens, patty pan squash, baby onions, cucumbers, kohlrabi, tomatoes, shell peas, zucchini, radishes

We also purchased 10 pounds of pickling cucumbers, to turn into pickles if I can find a spare couple hours.

The Plan

baked dill and garlic salmon
+ collard greens

polenta pizza with kale and mozzarella (based on this recipe from Serious Eats)

BLT sandwiches with pesto mayo
+ potato and beet salad with scallions (based on this recipe for Spicy Mustard Vinaigrette Potato Salad)

Lemon Risotto with Summer Squash (NY Times) with peas and patty pan squash
+ tomato slices

tabbouleh topped with falafel patties (Cooking Light) + kale chips

chef’s salad with chickpeas, radishes, hard boiled eggs, arugula, etc

zucchini lasagna, recipe to be determined
+ collard greens

summer vegetable cold noodle salad (recipe in development)
may include cabbage, zucchini, radishes, baby onions, arugula…

Smoky Tempeh Sandwich with Sundried Tomato Pesto (My New Roots)

kale, cheese, onion quiche
+side salad or other vegetables

Stovetop Buffalo Chicken Shells & Cheese (How Sweet It Is)
+ kohlrabi and cabbage slaw

Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we Despite the cool temperatures and wet weather, we had another fantastic year at @freshgrassfestival. I can never get over how, in addition to all the incredible music, the event features a great venue (@massmoca), delicious food from mostly local vendors, a great local beer tent and bar stocked with @berkshiremtdist and a kid-friendly atmosphere including a @kidspacemm art tent.
Shout-out to some of my favorite acts of the day @ajleebluesummit, @cj_field with @gregcaproni and @theblacklegacyproject.

Looking forward to next year!
