Enjoying the Bounty (CSA Menu Plan #58)

Published on July 31, 2016 By Emily. Updated on July 31, 2016

It seems like with every week the CSA pick ups get better and better.  More color, more variety, more of my favorite things.  I also made it to the farmer’s market this weekend and picked up some awesome cantaloupe and corn on the cob.  Tomorrow is the first of August and, at least for the bulk of the month, it looks like it will be a much less busy month than July.  It also seems like it’s going to be less hot this week!  I’m looking forward to a few weeks of relaxing, board games, home projects, exploring local sites and enjoying the time before school starts and my baby is born.

The Pick Up

CSA Pick Up 7.29.16

The Plan

homemade cheese pizza with fresh tomatoes and basil (from my potted plant)
with radishes sautéed in basil compound butter

hamburgers wrapped in collard green leaves (as seen in Glamour Magazine, of all places!)
with caprese salad

eggplant parmesan and pasta (2 nights)
with green beans

loaded salads with lettuce, radishes (from last week), chickpeas, hard boiled eggs, blue cheese

Boiled Zucchini Salad with Tuna (Lidia Bastianich)
with corn on the cob, from the farmers market

fish – to be determined
with roasted potatoes + kohlrabi and cabbage slaw (recipe coming soon!)

Tomato Pesto Frittata (Martha Stewart
with corn on the cob

UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.

I can't remember the last time I baked bread, some I can't remember the last time I baked bread, something that was part of my routine for a long time. Today school was cancelled due to the extremely cold temperatures outside and I took the opportunity to make 8 loaves - most of which will be put into the freezer until they're needed. Baking more bread was part of my 2022 theme of "resume" and I'm so happy to be back to it.
Recipe, as usual, from @breadin5
