News from our kitchen

Hi everyone! Another soggy week, right? I'm sure "Farmer" is loving not having to water the gardens but I'd sure like to see a bit more of a balance between all of the rain and some sun/warmth!

This week we've had such a good time trying new and different recipes to use up all of the delicious CSA offerings and I wanted to share what we've been doing at our house.

We had a wonderful Salad Nicoise one night and steamed yellow wax beans (from the grocery store...sorry!) CSA snap peas and baby potatoes...coated tuna steaks with Herbes de Provence with lavender and grilled it up to have on the salad and even the kids ate it!

Last night Eric made a delicious pasta dish with sauteed garlic scapes and the CSA zucchini, yellow squash and parsley and added oregano, lemon zest, lemon juice and a little cream and tossed it in pasta with fresh grated parm.

And finally, the girls and I baked a chocolate coconut zucchini cake last night with the big kahuna zucchini's--boy that's one moist cake!

I'm making Jean's garlic soup tonight to use up our kale (and keep any colds away!).

I'm hoping Cyndi will come back with inspired recipes from Greece and Turkey in a few weeks!

Hope you all are doing well. What's going on in your kitchens?
