Kate's Week 5 & 6!

I'm behind on posting, but also because I'm behind on cooking. Here's what our week 5 looked like:

Hot dog! We grilled those up on the 4th of July. 

We still haven't figured out what to do with the pickling cucumbers yet. The obvious answer would be to, well, make pickles, but we're not real sure how to do that, so they might go on salads instead. 

Week 6 looked a little something like this. 

So there's a theme here. Hen House really wants us to eat blueberries. Good thing we make green smoothies every morning with the little guys. I even talked Dave into trying smoothies to use up all of his blueberries.

I'm super pumped about more cheese, because, well, I love it. We haven't had the colby yet, so even better.

The cabbage and onions are a switch up from the previous weeks, so we'll find something delectable to do with them. Seems like there might be some cabbage rolls in the near future?

I'll keep you updated.

Kate's week 4

Ok weather, you are seriously messing with my CSA vibe. But! check out the newest product in the CSA bags....flour: Ceresota flour from Newton, KS. Oh dear, what am I going to do with you? Maybe cookies? Maybe blueberry muffins? Recipes here: http://www.heckersceresota.com/recipes.html.

Got the roast, think it is going to be a Sunday dinner with the fam. Pot Roast dinner on Sundays is something my mom's family used to do when she was little, and we haven't eaten red meat in quite a while, but we've got it, so might as well enjoy the goodness.

Trying a new Good Natured Family Farm cheese: Cheddar Pepper. I am not a fan of spicy stuff, so we'll see if this pepper cheese is hot red peppery or...well normal black peppery. Honestly not a fan either way, but no judgment on the cheese until I try it. Cheese has a mysterious way of winning me over. I'll report back.

As for the blueberries and squash....they'll get eaten swiftly. The milk? Probably already gone.

Veggies Galore!

Week 3 bag brought a little creativity. I decided not to take the sirloin steaks or the Sourdough bread. We haven't eaten much meat lately and we still have chicken and ground beef from the previous two weeks. I'm not a huge fan of Sourdough bread, and since I was picking up the bag, decided to swap it out. Instead I got double tomatoes, blueberries and then some honey! 

It's round 2 of bok choy, which will take some internet searchage for a recipe, but I'm sure we'll make it work. 

I'm really looking to the free-range farm fresh eggs for Sunday breakfast and might just have to have some of the delightful looking blueberries on the side. 

The best way I know to eat cucumber is on rye bread with cream cheese and dill, so I'll start craving that now and see where that yummy appetizer falls in the week. 

Happy CSA day and weekend!
