Despite being a bit sad that I am more than halfway through my Spring CSA with Gruber Farm, I was delighted with this week’s box.
The variety and quality of Week 7 was impressive.
- carrots
- green beans
- zucchini
- pattypan squash
- cucumbers
- onions
- peaches
- pole beans
- red potatoes
At first, I wasn’t exactly sure what the beans in the bottom middle were. I couldn’t decide if they were snow peas or pole beans. After asking friends on twitter, I finally decided they must be pole beans. I hope I’m right. I’m open to being corrected…
As usual, I went straight for the fruit. Biting into the first peach reminded me that Summer is just around the corner. That evening, I cut the potatoes in bite-sized pieces and sauteed them with diced onion. All they needed was a bit of oil and a dash of salt & pepper. Sometimes it’s the simple recipes that turn out the best.
The other vegetables left me wondering…
Should I eat the carrots as I always do, with my favorite hummus?
What on earth do I make with the patty pan squash? I won’t forgive myself if I chop them up. They’re too beautiful not to keep in their whole form. Perhaps stuffed is the way to go.
Pole beans? Who cooks with those?
Everyone thinks of peach cobbler, why not make something else?
Here are some recipes I bookmarked today:
- Patty pan Squash Stuffed with Corn
- Stuffed Zucchini Boats
- Rosemary Roasted Potatoes – basically what Courtney made this weekend!
- Carrot and Raisin Salad – a healthy version of Chick-fil-A’s!
- Sautéed Peaches
What would you make with this week’s vegetables? I want to know your favorites. Your tried and true recipes. Your family’s secrets. Your own creations.
As bloggers and foodies, we know how tiring searching for the perfect recipe can be, so why not share with one another? Send me what you’ve got – I’d love to make it at home and highlight it on my blog!
