Summer CSA Week 8
/This week was a good one for dinners. We had a nice mix of old favorites, plus a new one! Here's everything I got. Items are listed below starting at the top and moving left to right.
- Red potatoes
- Green cabbage
- Heirloom zucchini
- Green zucchini
- Onions
- Elephant garlic
- Yellow squash
- Basil
- Red tomatoes
- Yellow tomatoes
- Sun Gold cherry tomatoes
- Assorted heirloom tomatoes
Most of the tomatoes were eaten up as snacks, either plain or with a little salt and pepper. The garlic and onions didn't get used this week because I had some older stuff to go through first.
I've really been loving this tomato basil pizza combo, so I made it again this week! I paired the pizza with some sauteed peppers.
One night, I roasted a chicken with a ton of veggies. The yellow squash, heirloom zucchini, and potatoes ended up in the mix, along with some peppers and red onion.
The green zucchini found its home in a frittata. That yellow-green disk on the bottom is the cabbage! I sliced it up and then roasted it with a honey and Dijon mustard mixture. It was so good! If you think you hate cabbage, cooking it this way might just change your mind. I also roasted some purple potatoes to round off the meal.
The last meal for this week is one of my favorite summer dinners: BLTs! I used a homemade eggless mayo (recipe coming soon!) for these because the store-bought kind is gross and making the traditional stuff yourself is a huge pain. We threw in some of the basil too, to mix things up, and had a cucumber salad on the side.
