Week Four delivery of our CSA arrived this past Monday. I love driving over to the farm and seeing what is laid out on those folding tables for us. Good surprises are always enjoyable. Especially when fresh shelling peas are involved…I seriously can’t stop eating those things. We got a bag of them in our… Continue reading A Little of a Lot of Greens
See, I told you the end of the school year got busy for moms. Now that it’s officially June the kids are entering into the go-to-school-but-in-all-reality-do-nothing phase of the year, but the moms are still running around like crazy people trying to tie a big, red bow on yet another school season. Yesterday, I overslept… Continue reading Lettuce Begin the Season
I was on the fence for a good long time about joining a CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Part of it maybe was habit (why change my routine of going to the farmers’ market or just the grocery store?) and part of it was fear, which sounds ridiculous but it’s true. Would we… Continue reading The Produce IS Greener on the Other Side of the Fence
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of going to opening day of a local Farmers’ Market. All I can say is this….find one in your area and go. Go all summer long, or subscribe to a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program via a local farm and then continue supporting farmers during the winter months at the… Continue reading This Little Piggy Went to Market…and Bought Bacon
“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life.” Rachel Carson I took that quote right of my CSA farms’ website. It’s a good one, isn’t it? Mid-October is here, the first frost has happened, candy corn (blech) are residing in the house and… Our… Continue reading Veggie Wrap (Up)
If you’ve been keeping track of my CSA adventures as of late, you know that our kitchen as been inundated with zucchini. Not that that’s a bad thing. Organic, fresh and good to eat. Just a little challenging how to use many of them in a short amount of time. As my husband would say…it’s… Continue reading Your ticket to Zucchini-Palooza
Good morning! First off this week, I have to acknowledge my two photographers that have been contributing to the newly redesigned Daily Frosting. Jen P. and Charlotte M. are two wonderfully creative women who know their way around a camera. As I have only limited experience, I turned to them to help round out the… Continue reading First Things First
Good morning! CSA haul #5 arrived yesterday and what did we get this week?…. 3 ears of corn 1 bunch of carrots 2 tomatoes wax beans (kids looked at them and said “What ARE those?”) 1 perfect onion 10 cukes (= pickles!) …and….4…oh God… zucchini. I’m officially intimidated by all these things. Just call me… Continue reading Book Em, Dano.
(*NOTE: the main post for today is just below….Taking Pen to Paper….) Ok. My nine green friends are still sitting in a bowl on my counter. Part of me is intimidated by them, part of me just likes the way they look in the wooden salad bowl. A culinary quandary. Made a quick saute with… Continue reading Quick Zucchini Update
(sorry I’m late this morning! I’m in slow…motion….) We are four weeks into our CSA and I have to say, I’m sold. Maybe my mind will change when it’s August and we are inundated with tomatoes, but for the time being, I’m really loving this. Husband gives it a thumbs-up, too. In short, if you… Continue reading Invasion of the Zucchini
