CSA Adventure: Week 4

Elijah and I were out of town all last week--hence the lack of blog posting--and I haven't had much time to think about the fresh produce we received from our CSA on Thursday. Lots of useful, yummy stuff, though. I need to get back into the meal-planning groove!

On another note, yesterday for lunch we enjoyed the chuck roast we received a week or two ago, and tried the recipe with ingredients provided in our share. It was just a little spicy and really good for something different (we usually use the same beloved roast recipe every time). I'm looking forward to using the leftovers for cheesesteak subs--hoping to make some good buns with my artisan bread recipe.

This week's bounty:
  • fresh herbs: basil (yay!) and what I *think* is dill
  • three heads of garlic
  • an onion
  • snow peas
  • lettuce
  • a bouquet of lavender
  • 2 pounds grass-fed ground beef
  • 6 farm-fresh eggs

You've inspired me. We're looking into a CSA around here. I gather living in the heart of Indiana there's bound to be something nearby.

Mel, check out LocalHarvest.org. Ours is brand-new this year so it's not listed there, but another one in our area is. Hope you find something!

We haven't strayed from the beloved pot roast recipie since you gave it to me!
