Good evening, all! I just came back from picking up my CSA box at Basket of Life farm, and it looked so good that I couldn’t wait to share it.
Quite a haul this week – Kale, lettuce, spring onions, green onions, GIGANTIC beets, zucchini, yellow zucchini, yellow squash, garlic and eggs!
All the oniony goodness was making my car smell yummy on the way home. Last week, I cut the spring onions in half and just grilled them with some olive oil, salt and pepper – amazing! I’ll probably do the same this week. The beets are the wild card for me; I’ve never cooked them before. But I know that Brian loves roasted beets, so I’ll give it a shot.
I hope all of you getting your boxes tomorrow are as lucky! Now, I just have to go cook something…
Lettuce Never Squash Our Love 
Beautiful bounty! Looking forward to seeing what you make of all of it!
Come and link up to this week’s party when you get a chance…http://inherchucks.com/2012/06/27/whats-in-the-box-32/. Looking forward to seeing you there 🙂
Linked up! I love reading all the comments on your link party. There are some great ideas and recipes!
Awesome! Thanks for participating 🙂
WOW! That haul looks spectacular! I will definitely grill green onions this week. Here is how I roast beets:
Wash and cut off the ends. Wrap in foil with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for an hour to an hour and a half at 350 degrees. Those beets are big and you want them completely tender. Or I do, anyway! Peel and eat then or slice cold on a salad.
Thank you for the recipe! I’ll let you know how it turns out!
Your produce looks great! I love your display!
Great haul! Roasted beets are great, but if it’s summer where you are, you can grate them raw and add them to a salad. They will be sweet tasting and the colour is wonderful.
I have kale coming up in my CSA box this week. Not sure what I’ll do with them since I don’t think my husband will like it.
Great idea with the beets! I ended up pickling them this time, but I’ll remember that if/when I get some more. I don’t have any great kale recipes on hand, but it’s good in soups if your hubby would like that. Thanks for commenting!
