For some reason, I wasn't into dealing with fresh produce last week, so some of it is still sitting in my fridge (which also explains why I haven't blogged about it)! Here's what I got...
Broccoli: went into a DELICIOUS pot of black bean soup (I started with this recipe, but made quite a few changes along the way).
Zucchini: went into some gorgeous looking sausage and cheese calzones, which we couldn't eat because hubby accidentally baked them with the plastic wrap still on (one of the hazards of make-ahead dinner, LOL!).
Green onion: I remember chopping these, but can I remember what I put them in? Of course not...
Snow peas: Still in the fridge
Radishes: Still in the fridge
Cherries: Almost all eaten.
This week, my CSA buddy is out of town, so I got the whole box to myself. I got:
Broccoli and cauliflower: I'm going to try roasting this.
Zucchini: I'll probably grill it, but the zucchini in my garden is finally starting to come on, so at some point I'm going to start shredding and freezing it (for bread, muffins, etc).
Green beans: Steamed all the way, baby!
Sugar Daddy Peas: I thought these were sugar SNAP peas, so I sat down this morning to shell them. Well, the peas were DINKY, and the pods wouldn't budge since there weren't any strings! I finally looked at the list again, saw what they actually are, and googled them since I've never heard of them before. We'll most likely be steaming them and eating them whole.
Raspberries: I absolutely LOVE the flavor of raspberries, but I have issues with my teeth and the seeds, so I don't eat them very often. So I decided to make puree and freeze it, for sauces or Italian sodas or whatever. Did that this morning. Then I ran across this recipe, and now I'm kicking myself for pureeing them all because those sound AMAZING! I've bookmarked it so, come this fall when my own raspberries come on (we have a few but not enough to cook with right now), I can give it a try.
