CSA Week 3: beets are a challenge for me.



 Sam is intrigued by the broccoli in our farm share this week-- some fell out when I was unpacking and he went to town.

What's in our share this week:

1/2 lb salad mix
1 bunch Hakuri turnips
1 bunch kale
1 bunch swiss chard
1 bunch garlic scapes
2 heads of lettuce
1 bunch carrots
1 bunch beets
2 lbs broccoli 

    Tentative Meal Plan  (Plus: Kale Chips)
    Roasted Shrimp with Broccoli, rice, fruit
    Chicken with honey roasted carrots, roasted beets, 5 minute bread, Salad
    Big salad with leftover chicken, roast veggies
    Pasta with swiss chard and goat cheese
    Homemade pizza with garlic scape pesto on the "adult" side, salad
    Taco salad bar (black beans and fresh corn chips); Breakfast for dinner (hmmmm...) with salad.

    2. thank you-- the ravioli one especially looks yummy. I wonder if I could fake that one with wonton wrappers....or do it as a stuffed shell recipe, because I have a better success rate with stuffed shells than with raviolis. :)
