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.

Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring Last week Brian and I finally got around to hiring a sitter for a rare night out. We went to dinner at @publicna and took advantage of the opportunity with drinks, appetizers and dessert.

It was no surprise that Public was close to full on a Wednesday night - everything was so good.

Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
