Week 4...and we cooked!

Week 4 brought some AWESOME! 

 

Week 4 CSA

When you get Farm Fresh sirloin meat, I think it's best to make something where the meat is takes the center stage. What better than Philly Cheesesteak Sandwiches! Dave sliced up the onions, yellow bell pepper and jalapenos and sautéed them in a chipotle olive oil.  Then added the Farm Fresh meat to get deliciousness.  Top it off with chipotle white cheddar cheese and BAM.  Add thyme and rosemary home fries and it's dinner time. 

Dave's soon to be famous Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich

I couldn't let Dave take all the credit this week, so it was time to put my thinking cap on and come up with a plan.  As I was prepping for our weekend float trip, I began to envision a weekend outdoors: fire pit, the sweet smell of nature, camping under the stars, burgers, brats, and COLESLAW! It just so happened that I had an entire cabbage and cucumber from CSA in the fridge.

Paula Dean's The Lady's Coleslaw (sub cuc for gr. onion)

In recent weeks, Ms. Paula Dean has taken some heat for inappropriate language, but being from the south one can't deny the woman can cook.  I went with The Lady's Coleslaw, substituting cucumber for the called for green onions because that's what my CSA bag had.  The end result enough coleslaw to feed half the campsite!

Would I make this recipe again? Yes, but next time I'd use 1/2 the called for sugar...it wasn't as tangy as I like my coleslaw to be.

I'm taking Week 5 CSA off because of July 4th, but I'm excited what Week 6 will bring.

Stay hungry!
