This week’s CSA! Looks like we got: cucumbers, green bell, cayenne, and pablano peppers, turnips + greens, beets + greens, daikon radish, carrots, cilantro, broccoli, watermelon radish + greens, zucchini, mesclun mix, green beans, annnnd I think that’s it!

Sorry for the crappy photo. I ran outta digital juice in my fancy-pants camera and had to take a snappy with the ole camera phone.

Comments, concerns, questions, opinions?

Okay, let’s see if I can remember everything we got this week from our CSA. Beets (+ beet greens), green garlic (?), green beans, green and red bell peppers, eggplant, lots of cucumber, cayenne and serrano peppers, green tomatoes, spinach, field mix, collard greens and mesclun.

Let’s see if we can get through it all. I gave a bunch away this week, because we’d already gone through like half our previous veggies. So far, so good!

This week’s CSA bounty: turnips + greens, collard greens, watermellow radishes + greens, mesclun mix, green and red bell peppers, eggplant, kabocha squash, spagetti squash, green beans, basil, zucchini, and salad/field mix.

I have had so much salad lately, I think I’m going to become a leafy green something-or-another.

It’s awesome.

We got the next round of CSA veggies on Wednesday. Here they are!

We received: banana peppers, cayenne peppers, serrano peppers, red and green bell peppers, cucumber, turnips, yellow squash, zucchini, green tomatoes, eggplant, green beans, radishes, kabocha squash, collard greens, and mesclun mix.

We’re a little thankful that we received less leafy greens this week. I’ve never had so many salads in my entire life. But this is part of the fun. They hand you whatever they grew. You don’t get to choose. Some of the veggies - like the turnip greens have been surprisingly delicious in frittatas.

Chris and I just got involved in a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). We hand a local farmer a certain amount of money at the beginning of their growing season and we get a bushel of veggies every week for 10 weeks.

This was our first batch of veggies on October 14th. It’s been really great so far! We’re  having a tough time making it through everything each week and it was certainly overwhelming trying to figure out what to make first.

This week we got kobocha squash, yellow squash, cayenne peppers, serano peppers, green bell peppers, green tomatoes, eggplant, radishes, cabbage, arugula, baby collard greens, mustard greens, mesclun mix, tatsoi greens, and basil.

Cupcakes of change!

Chris and I made cupcakes last night in celebration of the new President! They turned out way better than I thought they would. That red is looking a little… gruesome though. Still delicious.

Christmas gifts! I made homemade truffles for most of my family and friends. This year, I was able to make plenty of delectable little treats for everyone I cared about!

The recipe comes from a brilliant girl over at Eggs on Sunday. Mine didn’t turn out as beautiful as hers (mine look more like poo than chocolates), but they were tasty nonetheless… Believe me, I did some quality testing before I sent them out!

I made some with hazelnut, some with cocoa and powdered sugar, and some drizzled with white chocolate. Mmmmm… Delicious!
