Yes, We Still Go To Our CSA

Published on September 16, 2011 By Emily. Updated on September 16, 2011

It has been a full month since I last posted about our CSA pick ups.  There are a number of reasons for that, mostly the fact that I had too many other wonderful things to share. 

The week of the Healthy Living Summit, there was no photo of the food since Brian picked it up and I had the camera with me in Philadelphia.  But here’s everything else we ate from the farm between then and now.

The week of August 26:

edamame, cucumbers, watermelon, cantaloupe, eggs, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, summer squash, beets, garlic, carrots

The week of September 2:

Swiss chard, broccoli, summer squash, zucchini, eggs, tomatoes, basil, pears, potatoes, jalapenos, carrots

The week of September 9:

a leek, lettuce, onions, kale, carrots, garlic, potatoes, eggs (Sorry for how depressing this photo looks)

This evening:

Making up for last week with a bit of color: peppers, carrots, broccoli, radicchio, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, summer squash.

I won’t bore you with everything we’ve eaten since mid-August (though I do still have 3 of the 4 menu plans, so I could share a lot of what we had).  There were a couple highlights, however.

Stuffed peppers (filled with herbed rice) served with rosemary and garlic roasted salmon, both of which were excellent.  I really feel like I’m getting comfortable with and decent at cooking fish.  Or I’ve just found better recipes lately.  Either way, this turned out really well.

This chickpea sauté with Greek yogurt was actually a bit better than expected, considering there’s really not much to it.  The meal was filling and tasty and the couscous added the perfect finishing touch.  I also think it’s pretty attractive, which doesn’t always happen with my cooking.

Earlier this week I made Julie’s lentil gratin for dinner, which used up the remainder of our CSA carrots.  I was really excited about it because I love both lentils and anything with “gratin” in the name.  She’s right, it’s the perfect meal for a fall evening.  We served it with some pasta, partially because I believe all meals need pasta and got 4 meals out of the recipe.  It’s definitely being added to my list of recipes for busy nights.

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.
