At last! The three of us iheartyum ladies have been waiting with great anticipation for the first delivery of our biweekly CSA veggie bundle. We all agreed its an excellent way to not only get our hands on some delicious produce and to support local farmers directly, but to help us expand and challenge our culinary horizons. And fortunately for us, our company provided a Wednesday drop off schedule, not to mention a greatly appreciated discounted price.
You gotta admit, it’s a beautiful spread. Inside we found: zucchini, summer squash, patty pan squash, a giant bunch of cilantro, green tomatoes, eggplant, spaghetti squash, a good bit of okra, swiss chard, red Russian kale, dinosaur kale, one china rose radish, one beet, and a giant head of bok choy. Everything looked a tiiiny bit wilty (that’s a word), and I was happy to get it tucked away into the fridge when I got home.
I challenged the ladies to try to post once per box with a dish they prepared using the current week’s booty, so keep on the lookout for lots of delicious winter veggie delights in the very near future.

Sigh. I remember every summer (except this past one) getting nice vegetables, especially types of squash, from my garden. Your picture tells me it is time for me to buy some squash to cook this weekend.
Wow, what a nice array of produce! You Left-coasters do have an advantage in that department.
And even though I had Chili’s ribs last night, your ribs look so yummy that I think we’ll try them this weekend.
