Share Pick-Up #16 – Autumn’s Bounty
OK, so it’s only the 2nd day of autumn, but one look at our share this week will tell you that the autumn crops are here in abundance! Here’s what we got:

Share 16
6 sprigs basil
2 lbs. potatoes
1 1/2 lbs. sweet potatoes
3 beets
14 oz. green beans
1 box tomatoes (3)
1 small handful cilantro
1 acorn (or spaghetti) squash
2 onions’2 jalepeno peppers
2 hot peppers
2 eggplant
1 cucumber
1 squash
1 sweet pepper
3 stalks edamame
If our shares get any bigger – I’m gonna need a new table! So what’s the plan for all of this good food? Salsa, using tomatoes, cilantro, hot peppers, and onions. French fries or mashed potatoes out of the potatoes. Baked sweet potatoes. Sesame green beans. A saute using the the zucchini and eggplant. Acorn squash with apples as a DESSERT?! Fresh cucumber and green pepper slices for snacking. Baked or boiled beets. Steamed edamame. Mmmmm, I’m getting hungry!
