Summer Farm Share Week 22 ends the season with Brussels Sprouts. My favorite! I can’t believe we’ve been living off a farm share and tracking it for over a year. We start our second winter season with the farm share next week. This winter we’re experimenting with the Omnivore share, instead of the Vegetarian Pilot…

Summer Farm Share Week 21 reminds me how much I love the delicious apples we get at this time of year. They make the best late night snack when I’m craving something  sweet. Some good cooking going on this week! Week 21 of our small summer Vegetarian farm share included (featured photo at the top…

Summer Farm Share Week 20 brings us Celeriac Root and Red Kuri Squash, two fun veggies to play with. I love putting Celeriac in with soup, so I plan to make a big pot of Chicken and Vegetable Soup in the slow-cooker this week. The Celeriac leaves will go into the freezer to use this…

In Summer Farm Share Week 19, the dark green of the Cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae) family of squashes is so rich. When mixed in with the varied hues of red, along with the vibrancy of the paler greens, it can be quite stunning. I had to play with black and white as backgrounds to make the riches…

Summer Farm Share Week 18 is bountiful with the blues of Brassica oleracea, the species for cabbage, broccoli, kale, kohlrabi and cauliflower. It’s funny how some  weeks just stand out in color and you can tell they’re similar even if you don’t know why. I happen to be very partial to blue-green plants, including herbs…

For Summer Farm Share Week 17 (week of September 19, 2016), I requested a Vegan bag. I have so much pasta in my freezer from past shares. It’s strange, but we don’t eat much pasta at home. That’s probably because we have the best place for pasta within driving distance. That means it’s usually my…

Summer Farm Share Week 15 is seasoned with Poblanos, a mild chili pepper. I love these to add to chili and soups in October and November. Usually I freeze them chopped without cooking them first. Maybe I’ll try roasting them or grilling them this year and then freezing them to see how that differs. Week…

Summer Farm Share Week 14 was plum crazy with sweet fruity plums and plum shaped roma tomatoes for roasting. Weeks like this make me very happy because of all the fruit choices. Apparently it worked for my family as well as our oldest son, his girlfriend and our granddaughters slurped their way through the watermelon,…

I look forward to this time of year when Summer Farm Share brings us Heirloom Tomatoes. Especially those big, juicy monsters that make the best tomato sandwiches. We had those this week as well as a wonderful Heirloom Tomato Cucumber salad with the assortment of small tomatoes. I think that was the best Tomato Cucumber…
