What I Made – Week 22

/ CSA in the City / Leave a comment

A belated post for Week 22!

Famous breakfast hash! We crisp sausage in a cast iron skillet, then cook onions in the same pan, then set aside sausage and onions and cook potatoes in the skillet. Everything is added back in, and 4 holes are made for the eggs. It’s all cooked under the broiler until the eggs are just set, then dusted with paprika and topped with cheese and sliced green onions.

Personal mizuna-topped pizzas, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and salami. And yes, I burnt the crust broiling the mizuna… this was a new gluten free crust that I picked up on clearance at the store and I wasn’t a huge fan.

Chicken salad with crispy chickpeas and roasted carrots. I used vegan herbed cheese this time but it would be good with feta or goat cheese too.

Chicken piccata with roasted radishes. The blank space on the plate was for the roasted potatoes I forgot to include for this photo!

What I’ve Planned – Week 22

I’m very excited for the return of fall salads. It’s the perfect way to recognize that the tops of the trees are starting to glow with their autumn yellows and reds, but still recognize that somehow it’s almost 90 degrees and any length of time spent outdoors other than the first brisk pre-dawn hours may still come with oppressive humidity.

I’ll be using up the last few weeks of ingredients to make meals of what new things I got this week

What I’ve Planned – Week 3

/ CSA in the City / 3 Comments

Rather than post each recipe step by step this time around, I thought I would make a summary list of all the dishes I’m planning to make this week and which veggies they’ll use. It will help me think and shop ahead for meals for the week and will be much faster for me to write than the longer posts I used to make (hopefully helping me keep up with the blog, ahem). I’ll link to the recipes online, where possible, and will follow up with a full blog post if I love the recipe or make substantial changes – or if you send me your requests!

Here goes, roughly in order from Sunday to Friday:

Even though this sounds like a lot, I expect at the end of this week we will still have red scallions to use, even after I put them on the tofu and noodles and the poke bowl. We might have some lettuce left over and maybe even some kale since that bag was pretty stuffed. I know we will have green garlic still to use because I’ll be using what we got last week in the recipe this week! And to think, this is only the start of the season – I have my work cut out for me.

What I Got: Week 3 2019

We’re very much in what I like to call “salad season these days. A sure way to know summer is fast approaching is that the garlic is looking less green and more like the adult bulb we typically know it as.

Clockwise from left: Green Garlic, Spinach, Green Kale (busting out of its plastic bag!), two heads of Red Leaf Lettuce, two bunches of Red Scallions, Cremini Mushrooms, Mixed Cherry Tomatoes, and Shunkyo Radishes (with greens still attached)
