Oh my – it’s already been two weeks since we received our first CSA share! This share is a little less bountiful than the previous one, but I’m not complaining – we’re moving tomorrow/Friday (!), and I’d rather not have to transport loads of produce to our new place. This week, everything fits in my basket:
So green!
So… what’s in the box?
- Arugula
- Broccoli
- Cabbage
- Cucumbers
- Head lettuce
- Kohlrabi
- Parsley
- Pearl onions
- Snow peas
- Zucchini
I’m very excited about that cabbage – you can’t really see it in the picture, but it’s huge! I’m very fond of this humble vegetable, and I’m looking forward to using it in a big batch of Mexican Cabbage from the Happy Herbivore Cookbook. And last week S used our first kohlrabi in this surprisingly tasty kale and kohlrabi dish, so we might have to recreate it with this week’s kohlrabi.
What would you make with this haul?

Thanks! The move went…something. Maybe not smoothly, but it’s done!

What an awesome haul! Arugula is one of my favorite greens ever; I love eating it with just a little olive oil and lemon juice. I miss the days of having a CSA — it’s such a fun challenge to figure out new ways to use up a pile of (semi-)randomly selected veggies.

I love arugula as well, but I’ve never tried it like that – sounds perfectly simple and delicious!
