Summer Vacation is Coming! (CSA Menu PLAN #28)

Published on June 21, 2015 By Emily. Updated on June 22, 2015

One crazy busy week down, one to go! If I can get through Brian’s birthday and my thesis presentation, my life will become much less eventful.  I hope.  Last week was an interesting one – I’m still waiting on the birth of my nephew (he was due Monday), I was able to catch up with an old friend I hadn’t seen in forever, and end of the school year festivities were in full swing.   I’m excited about all the good things that are happening lately and tired from all the work and emotion that goes into weeks like the ones that have been happening lately.  But, the end of the chaos is in sight and then, hopefully, life will slow down a little.

One of the routines that continues, however, is our weekly run to the farm.  This weeks pickup was basically more of the same, but pleasant nonetheless.  We picked some more strawberries, though it seemed like we’d past the peak of the crop.  Some of the remaining vegetables from last week, plus some from this week’s pick up were used to make a salad for a potluck picnic we had with some friends from church.  A picnic that featured 4 or 5 salads, all of which were different, and at least 3 batches of brownies.  That’s what happens when people are free to bring whatever, apparently: salads and brownies.

Anyway, on to this week:

The Pickup:

CSA pick up 6.19

Collards, Hakurei turnips, garlic scapes, lettuce, spinach (x2), strawberries, kale, radishes

The Plan:

Lentil sloppy joe sandwiches + Brazilian Collard Greens (Martha Stewart) Spinach and Chickpea Curry (Serious Eats) Ranch Salad with Buffalo Tempeh Birthday dinner: hamburgers and hot dogs (with salad, if I’m lucky!) Breakfast pasta (Joy the Baker) Tortellini, Tomato and Spinach Soup –as good cool as it is warm! Anniversary dinner out!

Also:
whole wheat waffles with whipped cream and strawberries
garlic scape and lemon compound butter
pickled garlic scapes?

As always, please share in the comments below – What are the creative ways you’re using seasonal produce?

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
