This Week’s (small) CSA Share!

I picked up my goods last night & some other fun stuff. Yay! It was slim pickins’ in my fridge!

First of all - If you live in San Diego & love hummus, you must check out Baba Foods. Best hummus in town. My all time favorite is the “Vegan Curry Hummus,” but last night I selected the “Pesto (Basil) Hummus.” I’ve been in a veggie sandwich mood lately & it sounded like a fun sammie spread. Okay back to the latest share from Suzie’s Farm…

Napa Cabbage

Spinach

Arugula

Bok Choy

Red Kabocha Squash

Spicy Salad Mix

Cannellini Bean Dry

In addition, I grabbed some Romanesco cauliflower, carrots, beets, sunflower sprouts, red grapes, & red leaf lettuce. I am in need of some good clean greens, so I am grateful for all of the roughage! This box has also inspired quite a few recipes that I hope to make over the weekend & next week! It’s been so hard for me to blog about what I am cooking lately. Working two jobs & trying to attend evening yoga classed puts me home past dark, which we call know doesn’t lend itself well to food photography. I might have to build a light box, but that is a project for another time. I hope to do some cooking/photo projects on the weekends so I have some fun stuff to post. In the meantime these are the recipes I hope to make over the next two weeks:

“Rustic Cabbage Soup from 101 Cookbooks” - a great use of white beans & napa cabbage!

“Butternut Squash & Soyrizo Tostadas” - a veganized version of this recipe. I’m thinking of making cashew “sour cream” top this with!

“Thai Red Curry with Kabocha Squash” - sans fish sauce, of course!

“Alicia Sliverstone’s Steamed Bok Choy with Ume Vinaigrette” - I’ve made this dish in the past & it is wonderful! So excited to make it again!

“Sauteed Romanesco Cauliflower with Pine Nuts & Garlic” - this recipe was included in my last CSA box. I made it & it was amazing. I ate the entire thing in one sitting! I bought another Romanesco just so I could make it again & share with you!
