Summer Winds Down (CSA Weeks 18-21)

Published on October 12, 2011 By Emily. Updated on October 12, 2011

When I posted my last CSA run-down I was sort of apologetic for not updating in over a month.  Since then I’ve decided that I like reporting on several weeks at once.  So much of the produce we pick up gets used in our lunches (carrot and pepper sticks, etc.) or as side dishes (broccoli, salads, kale chips) that a weekly post doesn’t seem necessary.  Let me know if you feel otherwise.

The week of September 19:

CSA pickup week of 9.19

kale, broccoli, eggs, potatoes, fennel, red peppers, onions, carrots, tomatoes

The week of September 26:CSA pickup week of 9.26

Fennel, spaghetti squash, broccoli, potatoes, carrots, red peppers, cauliflower, onions, green tomatoes

The week of October 3:

CSA pickup week of 10.3

Eggs, potatoes, broccoli, garlic, tomatoes, peppers, kale

I’ve been trying to be more creative with our vegetables of late, but most of the meals didn’t get photographed.  A couple highlights:

cauliflower curry

Gobi Masala (Cauliflower Curry) from Herbivoracious – Not wasn’t as flavorful as I’d hoped, but simple to prepare, filling and satisfying.  We served it alongside Israeli couscous and some cooked red and green tomatoes.

pizza

Tuscan White Bean Pizza from No Meat Athlete – This pizza has been on the semi-regular rotation for a couple years now and I had no complaints when Brian requested it for this week’s menu.  As usual, I added extra Italian Seasoning to the bean mixture.  If you’re skeptical about vegan pizza, this might change your mind.

In case you missed it, I also wrote a post about creamy leek and potato soup and a post about baked spaghetti squash – lasagna style, both of which used vegetables from our CSA.

It seems like the summer part of our share flew by (just 3 weeks left!).  The end of tomato season is kind of depressing, but I’m looking forward to squash and potatoes so I guess I’ll be alright.

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.
