It’s that time of the week again; CSA Tuesday!
Today we got golden beets, potatoes, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cilantro and celery.
Brussels sprouts, still on the stalk!
Fresh cauliflower.
Golden beets.
Cilantro.
It’s been so busy, that it may have to wait until Sunday to get cooked and eaten. We still have leftovers from last week’s haul!

It’s a cold rainy day in New York, but the farmers came through with a bountiful array of vegetables.
We got cabbage, leeks, beets, parsley, lettuce and yams. We ended up with only 1 leek, and 1 bunch of beets (which I love!) but a ton of lettuce and parsley. Wanna swap?
Although they said to take 2 cabbages, this one is bigger than my head and truly magnificent. One is plenty!
We got several heads of lettuce and a few giant, lush bunches of parsley.
My baskets of onions and potatoes have now grown to 3, even though I used a lot for Thanksgiving.
I am toying with the idea of making a sweet potato bread pudding that I found a recipe for. Definitely a salad, with roasted beets, pecans and goat cheese.
The parsley and giant cabbage pose a bigger challenge to my creativity. Perhaps stuffed cabbage of some sort? A parsley pesto?
Great ideas are always welcome!
It’s CSA Tuesday again, and this week’s selection is a little different.
I am getting a bit backed up in the pumpkin department. Pie? Ravioli? Halloween decor?
We got some carrots, parsley, a giant cabbage and some broccoli.
We also got 4 enormous leeks.
While I am sure some of this will become CSA soup by Sunday night, I intend to get creative with some of the rest.
Ideas always welcome!
It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time to pick up our farm selection from the CSA. Today’s assortment is more balanced than it has been:
There is a huge butternut squash, a head of lettuce, some young broccoli rabe without any florets ( the jury is out on that one until it’s cooked),red potatoes, a beautiful bouquet of kale, some rosemary and a bunch of celery.
I am thinking about a simple vegetarian dinner tonight, especially if it prevents me from having to go back out in the rain again!
Any great ideas out there?
