CSA Week 12

I am so sorry that I am beginning the second half of the CSA. I have never blogged before this year and so I never took notice of when the halfway mark was for the CSA. I never want it to end.

This week was a tomato extravaganza. We got 4 medium tomatoes, 3 red stipeys, 1 purple zebra, 4 plums and 15 baby romas. Oh my goodness, I can't wait to eat every single one....um....I mean, I can't wait to share them with my family. We also got one cucumber, one bunch of radishes, one head of lettuce, one small head of fennel, two bell peppers, a bunch of swiss chard and four serrano peppers. We also got three pounds of nectarines.
As an update to last week when I asked for recommendations. We made veggie tacos with the corn and tomatoes and zuccini. I made that with sprouted corn tortillas, grass fed pork chorizo and lots and lots of hot sauce. We also made a batch of my ratatouille and polenta, which I have turned into a casserole now so that I can make this the night before and heat it up. This might violate some international food laws, but my family likes it and I think it is better the next day.

Tonight we made leftovers of rice and beans and added a quick tomato and cucumber salad. I tossed on this a little red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, pepper and some italian seasoning. Easy and simple.

    the veggie tacos I made super easy, I sauteedan ear of corn a half a large zuccini and a chopped skinless tomato in some olive oil. Then for the bean I made a crock pot of beans (beans water and spices-cumin, granulated garlic, paprika and salt) and just put the sausage in there too cook with the beans. It was really nice and the baby LOVES beans thank goodness!
