Eat Your CSA – Week Twelve

July 7, 2017 By Kristina McLean

This week, Megan has said our boxes will include:

  • beans
  • carrots
  • corn
  • cucumbers
  • eggplant
  • jalapenos
  • leeks
  • lettuce
  • onions
  • peppers – green
  • potatoes
  • scallions
  • summer squash
  • tomatoes

Ideas for Food Prep:

  • Wash the lettuce to use for salads, so it’s ready to go.
  • Think about pre-chopping your onions. It’s nice to have them already done and ready to go. Or go ahead and caramelize a bunch of them for sandwich and pizza toppings.
  • Have salad dressings (homemade or bought) on hand
  • Slice up your cucumbers & carrots for snacks.
  • Go ahead and clean your leeks so that they’re ready to go.

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.”
