First Winter Share!

I get excited for the winter share.  Not that I'm that fond of winter, I just like the foods that winter brings and the change in foods (when you eat seasonally).  During the winter share you have more choice in what you bring home.  You get a poundage of root vegetables and greens that they grow in their greenhouse while they are available.  To give you a true picture of the winter share, when we went on Thursday we were able to pick up 6 pounds of root veggies, 3 greens and a featured squash.  But you could also substitute 1 green for 2 pounds of roots and vice versa.  So this is what we picked out:

(10 pounds of root vegetables:)
about 3 pounds carrots
about 3.5 pounds apples
4 yellow onions
3 small celeriac roots

1 bunch red and green swiss chard (I've grown to love this!)

1 sweet dumpling squash

***They had other root veggies that you could choose like black radishes, turnips, red onion, assorted squash and diakon (similar to radish) but we chose what I listed above.  Last year we tried to try everything.  Every variety of squash, every kind of radish and turnip ect.  But this year we know what we like, so were sticking with it!

What will we do with it?  Well the carrots and apples will just be eaten (apples are already gone as I type) and I will make celeriac soup with the celeriac, onion and some carrots.  We've already used the swiss chard to make Creamy Swiss Chard Pasta and we'll probably roast the squash. :)
