Recipe Fridays: Fresh Corn Salsa

I realize corn season is quickly coming to an end, so I must post this before you can’t make it anymore.  I mean – you could – you could probably use frozen corn, thawed, but though I like frozen vegetables just fine, I’m not sure how that would stack up to this… In any case, I recently received 5 ears of corn in my CSA.  Long time readers will remember that my CSA is local & organic, which meant… there were worms in my corn.  After I’d taken care of those (shudder) and cut what kernels I could off the [...]

Recipe Fridays: Campanelle with Arugula

The first year I joined a CSA, I posted about it on a near weekly basis.  Last year, I posted much more infrequently about it, but I continued to eat my way through boxes of vegetables every week.  And this year, I imagine the posts will be even more infrequent, as, for my CSA duties, I’ll be blogging for them (my first article is here!).  I made the above with the arugula I got the first week this year.  I’ll be honest, I don’t particularly like arugula, so I wilted it a bit to cut through the bitter pepperiness I [...]

CSA Goodies!

CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture.  Essentially, one purchases a ’share’ in a local farm – much like the stock market, one then has a vested interest in seeing the farm succeed.  Dividends/pay outs come in the form of produce – vegetables and sometimes fruit.  Different farms do things differently; my farm happens to be also organic, and I pick up my box each week – Tuesdays for me – from a local location.  Join me on this journey – my inaugural season with a CSA – as I explore the various vegetables I receive and what I can do with [...]
