On Thursday we picked up...
1 pound spinach
1 bunch golden beets with greens
1 bunch red kale
2 heads lettuce (red leaf and raddicchio)
1 bunch bok choy
1 quart blueberries
1.5 pounds assorted cherries
Plus we still have 2 other heads of lettuce, 1 bunch komatsuna, 2 bunches bok choy, 1 bunch swiss chard and some radishes and scallions in our fridge... ahh can't catch up! (Oh and dill..1 bunch lasts forever!) I cooked a whole bunch of spinach the other day and put it in a baked tortellini dish I made (like baked ziti). The fruit on the other hand goes quick...blueberries are already gone and cherries will be gone very soon. I'm thinking we will move onto blackberries/raspberries within the next week or so with our share.
Plans include garlic and ginger bok choy, grilled raddicchio (interesting recipe from Native Offerings blog), salads, spinach and artichoke dip, maybe garlic bread to use some greens, beet chips, cucumber and tomato salad and Chocolate Beet Cupcakes! We do not like directly eating beets, although they are supposed to be nature's multi-vitamin. Last year we avoided beets like the plaque, but we were "forced" to have them this year. So we will see how these beet recipes go! I'll be sure to let you know!!
