Week 6 - Everything's On Hold!

Hi Friends!

As previously mentioned, other obligations are keeping me out of the kitchen this week BUT I did want to keep up with my share inventory for week 6 of my ReVision Urban Farm CSA.  I hope to resume my cooking adventure on Monday and with almost two weeks of share items stored up in my refrigerator there are endless possibilities for culinary greatness!


Ironically enough, I wasn't able to get this posted last night because I had to be up bright and early for a work event at ReVision Family Home, across the street from the Farm!  Even though it's about a gagillion degrees outside it was great to see the farm crops looking lush and healthy!  A testament to our great Farm team!

The ReVision Urban Farm Stand is also up and running for the season so if you're in Dorchester and want to pick up some amazing, fresh, locally grown veggies be sure to stop by and say hello! 

This week my share includes:

• Basil
• Carrots
• Cucumbers
• Green Beans
• Leeks
• Radishes
• Swiss Chard

I was relived to see that the share was a little on the smaller side this week, knowing I wasn't going to be able to do much with it.  I think I might put a spin on the blog and do a little baking this week - hows does carrot cake sound to everyone?

I was also incredibly happy to see more swiss chard since it has fast become my favorite share item!  I realized this week that BOTH of my currently posted swiss chard recipes are based around eggs (Sweet Potato and Swiss Chard Quiche and Green Eggs & Ham) so I'll be on the lookout for something different.

Veggie Person of the Week

As you can see from the photo above, there weren't a lot of good options for a veggie person this week.  We've already made Candie Carrot and Cat Cucumber and the basil, chard, leeks and green beans didn't offer a lot of opportunity so that left the radishes.  They were so small I wasn't sure I could pull it off until I noticed their roots.  The roots were they key to creating the Radish Rockettes - Rhonda, Rhoda & Rita!

 

As always feel free to follow me on Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram for photos, videos and recipes!  They usually make their way onto social media before they get written up in my posts!  Happy Farming!
