Week 2 CSA

Here we are with week number 2 of the CSA! Another basket with a good variety of organically grown vegetables! Here's what we have:

Cabbage- recipes on last week's blog
Turnips- recipes on last week's blog

Beets- here's a link for several recipes http://www.foodnetwork.com/topics/beets/index.html
My daughter loves them sautéed with their greens. She went on and on about how sweet and yummy they were!

Sugar snap peas- http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/sugar-snap-peas-with-parsley-recipe/index.html
As you can see I really like Food Network! We eat them at our house sautéed with butter and garlic and whatever herbs I feel like throwing in.

Yukon gold potatoes- Love these potatoes! Just a really great buttery flavor. The potatoes are not washed. Washing diminishes storage time. Only wash what you plan to use and store the rest in a cool dry place. http://www.food.com/recipe/yukon-gold-potato-gratin-173573
This recipe may be a little fattening, but you have to splurge every once in a while! You just can't beat potatoes au gratin.

Zucchini- Ah, you know summer is just around the corner when zucchini comes in season! What can you not do with zucchini? Zucchini bread, sautee, grill, roast, just about anything!

Also in this week's basket is bunch onions, garlic, eggs and an herb bouquet. In the herb bouquet there is cilantro and parsley. These look very much alike but taste very different! I have cut the cilantro shorter. Rub the leaves and smell before using to make sure you get the right herb.

I hope you enjoy your fresh vegetables and the recipes for this week!
