Broccoli, Bok Choy, English Peas, Cauliflower

There was a reporter from Williamson A.M. (a section in the Tennessean newspaper) at our drop-off location today, so be on the look-out for an article on Doe Run Farm in the paper!

We got so many things, I couldn't fit everything into my Chico Produce Stand Bags! I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do with all this food this week!  On Saturday, we pick up our first Meat CSA at the Franklin Farmer's Market, so we'll have more things to play around with trying to cook!


Here's how we used last week's veggies:

• Dinner Salad:  Mizuna, Strawberries, English Peas, Radishes

• Lunch Salad: Red Romaine, Swiss Chard, strawberries, English Peas, Chives (I also added carrots and cherries)

• Chicken with Penzey's Bicentennial Rub:  Beets with Swiss Chard and Beet Leaves (click on link for recipe)

This beet/beet leaf/chard/onion/bacon
 side dish was delish with the chicken!

• Strawberry Tea Bread:  Strawberries
• Broccoli Cheese Soup:  Broccoli, Spring Onions, Chives

We still have a few leaves of Swiss Chard we will have to eat this week.  I'm really impressed with how the cotton/hemp Produce Stand Bag made for keeping lettuce fresh has kept the Chard looking delicious this whole week!
