Eat Your CSA – Week 26

October 13, 2017 By Kristina McLean

This week,  my box included:
  • arugula/beet greens
  • carrots
  • chard/kale
  • eggplant
  • garlic
  • green beans
  • green onions
  • leeks
  • lettuce
  • okra

Ideas for Food Prep:

  • Go ahead and pre-wash your salad greens! Make sure you’ve got salad dressings on hand.
  • Wash and cut up your carrots and sweet peppers for snacks.
  • Clean and chop your leeks so they’re ready to go.
  • I like to prep my green beans when I get them, so they’re ready to cook.

veg: vegetarian
v: vegan
gf: gluten free

Please read! If a recipe can very easily be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free using simple substitutes like non-dairy spread, vegetable stock, gluten free pasta, gluten free soy sauce or a small amount of gluten free flour, or by leaving out an ingredient, I’ve coded them with that in mind. If they include things like mayonnaise, eggs, milk, honey or large quantities of flour, I haven’t coded them as such. I don’t have experience using things like egg substitute, non-dairy cheese or subbing in gluten-free flours. Please double check the ingredients for your own safety!

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is
our only hope.”
