This Week’s (small) CSA Share
T.G.I. almost Friday! It’s been an exhausting week back at work & I am so looking forward to a 3-day weekend. I picked up my share today & was so happy to see it filled with a beautiful bunch of chard…
& these lovely veggies…
- Broccolini
- Spinach
- Celery
- Chard
- Butter Lettuce
- Parsley
- Carrots
- Napa Cabbage
- Rainbow Microgreens
Oh Napa cabbage, here you are again! To be honest, I am never very excited when I pull cabbage out of the box. There is usually a big sigh accompanied by a scratch of the head & the question “what the heck am I gonna do with you?” Well, that could change with the discovery of this Chopped Miso Salad recipe from 101 Cookbooks, which looks absolutely divine! I will be making it for sure.
We’ve been enjoying unusually warm weather here in Southern California, but after this weekend that is projected to change. That is fine with me! I wasn’t quite ready to put away my scarves & boots quite yet! I also love to cozy up the house with a nice pot of soup or stew simmering on the stove & that is just what I intend to do. I’d love to make a vegan version of this: Chard & White Bean Stew from Smitten Kitchen. Of course I can use up the rest of the cabbage with The PPK’s Chickpea Rice Soup with Cabbage which I made previously & really enjoyed.
Speaking of The PPK, I’m sitting on two sugar pumpkins from my last share & am wondering if I can incorporate fresh pumpkin puree in their Chocolate Pumpkin Loaf recipe, which sounds scrumptious as all get up. I see a weekend baking project!
