We got our first CSA box this weekend! Actually it didn't come in a box. Since we go directly to the farmer's stand at the farmer's market, he gives us a list of what we can take for our share. He said if there were things we didn't like we could swap it out for others. I'm going to try not to do that so I'll be forced to try new things.
Here's all of our yummy treats from the first week:
Snap peas
tomatoes (from the greenhouse)
cucumbers (from the greenhouse)
beets
garlic snape (that's the top of the garlic. Chris grilled it with asparagus. yum!)
Last night I ate roasted beets and brussel sprouts with goat cheese. As I was making it I was thinking of all the arguments my parents had about my picky eating. Dad--I still eat cereal for dinner at least once a week, but I definitely eat my veggies now!
A cool trick Chris did--destem a green pepper, cut an onion in quarters, throw the onion into the green pepper with olive oil and salt, wrap in tin foil and put on the grill. The onion is absolutely perfect!
(and yes, I'm going to put his trick on Pinterest and see where it goes)

Totally eating cereal for dinner while I'm typing this very comment (honey kix).
Have you ever made kale chips? So yummy! Just lightly toss the kale with vinegar and olive oil, spread it on a cookie sheet, bake in the oven at 350 until crispy and then sprinkle with sea salt. They are so good and full of calcium! Love them! (but eat them right out of the oven. They aren't the best if you eat them the next day).
Yummy!!!!!
Ok, I didn't even know what destern means. I'm assuming take out the middle. Oh, you guys and your cooking vocab.
I was talking to a friend of mine who actually went to culinary school and she was describing this kale salad she made where she had to massage the kale with something, blah, blah, blah. I just couldn't get over the image of having to massage something into a vegetable just to make a salad. Salads are supposed to be easy, right?!? It made me laugh to think about it when I saw that you got kale in your "box."
Oooohhh! I will have to try the pepper with the onion inside! Sounds terrific!!
