The Weekly Share

I missed a week…So here are the pick-up lists for weeks 7 & 8!

Week 7:

1 green pepper

1 squash or zucchini

1 cucumber

1 hot pepper

1 garlic bulb

14 oz green beans

1 head lettuce

8 oz carrots

1 box cherry tomatoes

2 1/2 lbs tomatoes

1 tomatillo

2 lbs. Purple Viking potatoes

5 sprigs basil

help yourself to : okra, herbs

Last week I made salsa and guacamole, using the tomatoes, tomatillo, hot pepper, garlic and herbs (cilantro).  We had fresh veggies for lunch and dinner (carrots, green pepper, salad, cherry tomatoes).   I steamed the green beans for 2 meals.  I made pesto with the basil.  I sauteed the squash.  I still have potatoes, tomatoes and okra left over.  I have plans for potatoes and okra this week.  I think I’m gonna have to start canning tomatoes!

Week 8:

1 green pepper

1 zucchini

1 summer squash

1 eggplant

1 hot pepper

2 heads of lettuce

5 1/2 oz. green beans

2 1/2 lbs. tomatoes

1 box Sun Gold cherry tomatoes

1 tomatillo

1 head of garlic

8 oz. carrots

2 lbs. Purple Viking Potatoes

7 sprigs of basil

I plan to make Garden Chowder from our CSA newsletter.  It will use carrots, green beans, zucchini/squash, fresh herbs (basil), and tomatoes (I may throw in the eggplant, too).  We always eat lots of fresh vegetables – green pepper, carrots, cherry tomatoes, salads.  That leaves me with potatoes and tomatoes.  I have a chicken and potato recipe to try this week, but I’ll still have more potatoes left.  I plan to bake the big potatoes I picked up this week, I just don’t know when!  And I think it’s time I learn how to make tomato sauce…

Check back this week for recipes.  I have lots of cooking to do!
