I’m so sick of apologizing for the poor photo quality, I’ve decided to use my birthday money to buy a new digital camera. I’ve been hemming and hawing for months now, because of not wanting to break The Compact. But I’ve decided that I’m not comfortable buying a used camera unless it’s from someone I know, and since I don’t know anyone selling a used camera, I’m going to splurge for the least expensive Canon beginner’s model.
My decision to break The Compact for a digital camera will be the subject of another post, however. This post is all about beautiful, delicious CSA produce.
This week we got (roughly clockwise from the back): black kale, Bloomsdale spinach, swiss chard, romaine lettuce, leeks, giant beets, black night carrots, broccoli, strawberries, radishes, artichokes, red potatoes, fennel, red spring onions, and turnips.
We also got a container of roasted red pepper hummus, which isn’t in the photo because my husband had already absconded with it.
This is a fantastic delivery. The Bloomsdale spinach is one of our favorites, and my husband loves radishes and spring onions for his self-created lunches. The strawberries are SO sweet, and the purple carrots are beautiful.
Tonight we’ll have Guadalajaran swiss chard quesadillas. I love the recipe because I’ve done a lot of substitutions and it’s always good, with any kind of green, almost any kind of cheese, and either corn or flour tortillas. Later this week I’ll make a greens risotto, and I also plan on some kind of pureed soup.
One thing I don’t think we have to worry about in our house is an iron deficiency, with the amount of greens we’ve been eating lately.
Creative recipes for greens, or anything else you see pictured here, are always welcome. I use a lot of your suggestions, so thanks! And click here to learn more about CSA and find one in your area.
