It was better pickings at the CSA today – 2 big pints of blueberries! I am going to try making a whole wheat blueberry muffin with some of them. What’s your favorite blueberry dish?
Look at how giant that cabbage is!! I am going to try and make homemade sauerkraut with it – I am not a big fan of raw cabbage. I did pick up some of the “carrot bites” as they are called, just because its funny how tiny they are!
See what I mean! There are some bigger ones in the bunch, probably to toss with salads in the week. It was nearing lunch time by the time we ended up at the farm, so we (me) decided on wings! While my lunch comes in at around 580 calories, it was both breakfast and lunch, so I am not going to worry about it – and I may hit up the gym with Hannah when she gets home from work if she isn’t too tired.
These are not breaded at all, and I asked for the sauce on the side – I probably only used about a tablespoon of sauce on the whole order – I tried a new one – Blazin Asian – so good!
They have the “wall” sauce, which I tried only once. I asked for it on the side, and she brought a tablespoon out on a paper plate – I took one bite and couldn’t feel my tongue! By the time we left, the sauce almost “ate” through the paper plate. And to get your picture on the wall, you have to eat 16 of them – with no drink! I think about 100 pictures were on the wall!
I just tried to make kohlrabi chips in my deep fat fryer – um, they didn’t turn out too good! Back to the drawing board on kohlrabi – not sure I’ll ever find a recipe that will make me like it!
Off to make grilled tomatillo salsa to have on hand, and making the whole wheat bread – it only needs to rise 30 minutes! I may not post until tomorrow, because tonight is CRAB FEST at our neighbors. About 3 – 4 times a year we alternate buying king crab legs and just go crazy – I think we buy between 8 – 10 pounds for 4 people! Well, their son is good for at least one leg – Hannah on the other hand will be eating hot dogs!
Biz–this is a sad CSA! we had one last year and it was $10 a week…but we never got carrot bites! Our market is awesome…we’re totally spoiled. Everything from eggs to chickens, corn to pickles, honey to milk is at the Baltimore Farmer’s Market!
I make these blueberry shortbread cookies everyone goes bonkers for. Just a shortbread dough pressed into a pan and topped with blueberries, almonds and a drizzle of honey. OMG delish! And the bite sized carrots are hysterical! I work at a farm that offers a CSA and last year we offered “cucumber balls”. Tasty cucumbers that only grew rounder for some reason. Enjoy!
Your produce looks delish. I just made a coconut blueberry muffin that is the bomb. I added fiber with coconut flour, good fat with coconut oil, and subbed stevia for part of the sugar. The blood-sugar impact is lessened because of my changes. The texture & flavor are excellent. Recipe will post tomorrow morning, 6:30 am.
Can you pick what goes into your basket, or do they just give you whatever for the CSA??
Have fun at your crab fest!
He gives you a list of what you can take and then locks you in the cold room! Tony was afraid I wasn’t going to come out the first time! 😀
Hot dogs over crab?? Crazy!
I love sauerkraut. I can’t wait to see what it looks like after you make it!
i love making easy fruit crumbles with lots of fresh fruit and topped with butter, oats, brown sugar, that sort of thing. blueberries would be perfect for that!!!
have a great time at crab fest. that sounds amazing!
I just got back from a late lunch/early dinner with my boyfriend and had beer batter fried pickles, served with a horseradish sauce. Super yum–seems like something you and your family would enjoy trying one of these days. 🙂
Holy Yum!!
I’m so jealous of everyone’s postings about farmers markets and such! Love all that produce!
I love blueberries in anything…. muffins, ice cream, smoothies, you name it!
I love blueberries no matter how they come: plain, mixed with cereal, mixed with oatmeal, or any other way you can use it. 🙂
