So, most of you know that we donate our leftover shares and vegetables to Food Not Bombs. Ever wonder what happens after that? Well, board member and founder of the CSA Diana Liss and board member Karen Oh went to volunteer at Food Not Bombs to help them cook our leftovers and other donations and […]
Our first ever Progressive Dinner was a great success. Everyone who participated had a great time. Many good recipes were shared and demonstrated by fellow CSA members.
Member Ainslie Binder made a halved version of this recipe and said it was—as Rachel Ray would say—”DELISH.” (Well, actually, Ainslie said it was “delicious,” but I could not resist!) Fresh Sour Cherry Cobbler
Where I used to live, summer was all about the zucchini. Everyone seemed to grow them and there would be so many that you couldn’t unload them on your colleague or neighbor. If you left your car door unlocked (this was a rural area, so no one really locked their cars), you might end up […]
For those of us lucky to get a fruit share, we will be getting Sour Cherries. They are a delicacy–great for cooking and often used in pies. But they are sour! Some eat them fresh, but they are used in cooking, especially soups, pork dishes and pies and liquers are made from them. I wonder […]
Aside from the usual salads, we didn’t do anything super spectacular with our share. I think, the thing I love most with kale is sausages. This is a classic recipe (also sausages with broccoli rabe) that has been written up numerous times on various blogs, including this vegetarian recipe. One good twist to this dinner […]
This week, we welcome member Nicole Fabri to the “What I Did With My Share.” Read more to find out how she feeds her family with her CSA. The Fun of Being in the Kitchen What joy that our CSA has finally started and we are getting fantastic fresh and nutritious vegetables every week! I […]
I would like to be organized enough to get everything cleaned and prepared for use during the week when I bring my loot home on Tuesday night. But usually I don’t get to it until I’m doing my whirling dervish dinner dance each night. For those of you who are organized or want to start […]
This week’s “A Cookbook I Wanna Eat” was submitted by PLGCSA member Megan Hackett. I like eating the best when someone else is doing the cooking. But if it is my turn to cook, then please let it be vegetables (from our CSA share!). Because I probably won’t overcook them (like I do to most […]
Were you a little surprised to see this last week? I was. I love broccoli rabe, but this wasn’t at all like the kind I get win the supermarket which is full of leaves with thicker stalks and no flowers. I decided to get to the bottom of this vegetable. Should be easy in this […]
