CSA Week 3

I’m a little behind the eight ball this week, but how did I do with week 2 (and some leftovers from week 1)?

All of the week 1 leftovers are gone…lettuce, turnip, cilantro, and kohlrabi. I used the turnip and some of the cilantro in corn and black bean salad and made kohlrabi slaw. I froze the rest of the chopped cilantro in 1/4 cup portions for use at a later time.

• Strawberries: 100%
• Salad greens: 100%
• Lettuce: 100%
• Spinach: 100% (sauteed with garlic scapes)
• Carrots: 100%
• Garlic scapes: 33% (used with spinach, and the rest is chopped and ready for more saute action)
• Broccoli: 0%
• Beets: 0% (it’s been too hot to think about turning on the ovent)

Since I was practically melting just being outside on Wednesday (pick-up day), I forgot to take a photo of the sign. This is what we got this week:

• 2 kohlrabi (green ones this time)
• 2 pounds zucchini or summer squash
• 1/3 pound garlic scapes
• 1 bunch green onions
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 bunch dill
• 1 bunch kale or collards
• 2 heads lettuce
• 3/4 pound mixed greens
• 1 quart strawberries

I gave my CSA partner the kale to help her face her fears of this leafy green…she is going to try my kale salad recipe. If that doesn’t work, I might have to do a kale-tervention with her…or, more kale for me?
