wisconsin food blogger 2016 csa series week 2 posted on july 7 2016 by georgina 1 2016 csa series week 2 soooo i m a day late this week that s allowed right i just got back from vacation on beaver island and this week is all messed up anyway tell me you guys can t seem to remember what day it is either last night i picked up our csa box 3 from small family csa farm so it s time to review what we got in the last box week 2 and what we did with it all if you missed the goodies from week 1 check that out here and here is the delicious spread of what we got in box 2 do you know what each item is see below if you re not sure since i was on vacation i didn t spend as much time ok straight up zero time photographing what we did with each item i wanted to relax and unwind and while i love blogging vacation meant a break from that and thinking about it too so needless to say this post will be much less extensive and have much less pictures than box 1 which maybe you like let me know in the comments below let s dig right in romaine and buttercup primarily used the romaine as sandwich lettuce and as a bread alternative for lunch sandwiches and then one night we also made a big salad with dinner i love romaine for it s sturdy and crunchy bottom and yet it still has a soft and smooth top but man that butter lettuce is so delicious and such a nice change up it s so buttery and smooth and delicious didn t do anything earth shattering ly genius with this we had a homemade pizza and salad night it was delicious we filled the salad with tomatoes cucumbers salad turnips and some green onions while some might not think lettuce is the most exciting thing in a box it certainly might be the most delicious salad turnips again nothing too crazy these little guys have a really smooth texture and are super delicious raw we popped a few sliced into our salad and i ate a some as a snack too celeriac root i loveeeeee celeriac and for all of those thinking hey isn t it a little early for this in the season yes it is this is actually left over from winter i was so excited that i was a little overwhelmed on what to pick to do with it soooo as usual when faced with a multitude of options i freeze up and actually that s what i did with the celeriac too blanched it and froze it what i did was peel it and cut it up into reasonable sized chunks like 2 3 inch cubes then blanched it put your chunks in boiling water for about 3 minutes then place directly into an ice bath then place on a baking sheet and freeze for about 30 60 minutes and then pop in a bag or container the freezing individually on a sheet first makes sure that the cubes don t become just one big frozen chunk that s it now i can just thaw out when i finally decide what delicious thing i want to make this is what i want to try but just maybe when it s not 90º outside green garlic one night we made a chicken veggie curry over rice and used a lot of the the box veggies in that curry dishes and stir fry s are some of my favorite ways to use up a lot of veggies and they re so easy too the box veggies we used were the green garlic zucchini and green onions we also threw in some broccoli peppers and chicken perfect quick and healthy dinner kale i was that weird kid who loved kale i would beg for it for dinner and my favorite way to eat it was steamed sauted with some balsamic vinegar one day i learned we had some growing on our farm i marched right out there and ate it until i had a belly ache i still love kale cooked or raw and everything in between a few years ago when kale chips became a thing i thought omg i have to try those i will love them then much to my chagrin i hated them seriously couldn t even eat more than one they didn t taste like kale and there were a weird texture i was so sad but everyone seemed to love them and still rave about them how could this even be possible i was a real kale lover then a friend of mine made some while i was at her house and i tasted it and it was really good i had to give it another try i researched and researched and came up with a fool proof way to make delicious and extra crispy chips the main trick i think is to not have the oven too hot and also to make sure you message each leaf with oil not just drizzle and toss it literally you need to make sure that each piece has oil on the whole thing every nook and cranny you don t need a lot of oil to do this but it just takes time to make sure you touch and coat each piece when i saw kale in our box i knew i had to make kale chips as the perfect healthy road trip snack for our vacation my mom my sister and i loved them zucchini we had one little baby zuch and used it cut in in our curry stir fry dish peas these were so gorgeous and sooooo fresh tasting i honestly ate them as a road trip snack on our way to the island they would have been good in our curry too but i hate them all plain strawberries there is positively nothing better than fresh strawberries the flavor and even smell they have is so amazing and power packed that i makes you wonder what the hell those strawberries at the store are compared to these fresh ones they only have a slight strawberry taste i wish i had something awesome to share but we really just ate these like candy i topped a piece of bread with almond butter and a few of these sliced up one day but other than that just ate straight out of the pack green onions my sister and i used to eat these bad boys plain good ole fashioned wisconsin supper clubs and salad bars know what i m talking about these bad boys with a little cheese spread mmmmm so good but we controlled ourselves and put then in our salad and also in our stir fry dish kohlrabi i loveeeee kohlrabi we had two from our box and i still had one a friend had given me that she had gotten in her csa but she doesn t like them they are so good just to munch on or in a salad i ve been seeing a look of cooked kohlrabi recipes lately and that definitely is on my list of things to try but this time we just cut them up and used them as chips for guacamole seriously they maaaybbee better than regular corn tortilla chips dill dill would be great in our delicious fermented asparagus spears from week one or as we were in the middle of lake michigan it would be delicious with some lemon over some fresh whitefish that whitefish was our intention but in the spirit of honestly we tried two days in a row to get some whitefish but they didn t have any i would have been fine with the lake trout but not everyone in the house was up for that sadly this dill went mostly unused except for a little in our tuna salad for lunch one day that was delicious though so there you have it another week down i picked up our week 3 box last night and it was seriously packed with great stuff i have so many fun ideas and recipes planned for it make sure to subscribe and check back so you don t miss it xoxo spread the love share on print pdf opens in new window print pdf

kale vegetables beloved beaver island posted on june 29 2016 by georgina 3 beloved beaver island currently i am relaxing on a beach soaking up the sunshine don t worry i scheduled this post i m totally unplugged on this vaca i m not in any tropical location or some resort hot spot instead i m in one of my favorite places on earth which is even further north than where i live in wisconsin this magical spot beaver island michigan ever since i first stepped foot on beaver island my mind has been consumed with the next trip back it s sort of indescribable feeling but i know i can t be alone and people experience this for other places all over the world there s something so special about this place it s the largest island in lake michigan yet it s only 13 miles long and around 6 miles wide in the widest part there s zero cell reception no really zero and people move on island time there s no rush there are no plans for your days there and you can always find a new beautiful spot to explore or stop by your old favorites i highly highly highly encourage anyone to visit it but specifically those in the midwest it truly is a hidden gem we drive around the up upper peninsula of michigan and down to charlevoix michigan where we take a ferry across to the island once on the island there are a lot of rental homes a few motels and some campsites too a few years ago we found a home that we really really loved so for the past 3 visits we ve stayed in the same one lake michigan is one of my obsessions in life wether the wisconsin or michigan side i just love it the water is deep there is no salt there are no crazy scary sea creatures sharks i m looking at you and the sunsets you guys the sunsets oh i can t even describe to give you a taste i ll share some pics from the last visit enjoy and none of those colors in the pictures have been enhanced or edited seriously now go research your trip to beaver island stat hope you all have a fabulous week and i can t wait to share with you the recipes and goodies from week 2 of our csa with you when i get back next week in case you missed week 1 check it out here xoxo spread the love share on print pdf opens in new window

georgina 3 2016 csa series week 1 can t believe it s almost time to pick up our next csa box if you missed our latest post about how we are participating in a community supported agriculture csa share this year check it out here so since we are about to pick up our next box it s about time we share with you what got in our first box and what recipes and fun things we did with each of the items so here is the haul we received in week 1 think you know what each item is let s take a look asparagus fresh breakfast radishes buttercup lettuce bok choy or pac choi green garlic shallots rhubarb herb pack thyme basil oregano sage pea shoots large bag of spinach in the middle i love that we get such a wide variety of stuff in our boxes it s fun to experiment with different ingredients and never feel like you re drowning in something and not sure what to do with it all ok so lets get started i ll just list out each ingredient and post what we did asparagus i honestly love raw asparagus as a snack and the stuff i got was so skinny and beautiful and tender that i was half tempted just to snack on it but that s not very fun to share with all of you so i decided to try fermented pickled asparagus spears if you want to learn more about the benefits of fermented foods and the amazing impact they can have on your health check out our past post here these asparagus spears are fermented and not pickled what s the difference pickled foods are preserved in an acidic medium where fermented foods are preserved in salt water with a starter culture these are sort of quasi pickled because as you ll see below i used about a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar make sure it says with the mother here s my favorite brand to act as my starter if you ve been wanting to dip your toes into fermenting your own foods but are a little hesitant this the perfect recipe because it s so simple you don t need any special equipment just make sure to burp your jar occasionally these bad boys are good on their own but probably even better as a garnish in a bloody mary radishes spinach confession i ve never had cooked radishes before i have always eaten them cold preferably with a hefty sprinkle of sea salt too but when i was researching something out of the norm to do with radishes i came across this radish spinach pasta dish that looked too good not to give it a try if you think cooking radishes is weird stop it it s delicious and you won t be sorry they turn a soft pink color and it sort of enhances their peppery flavor plus i mean the recipe also has bacon in it sooooo how can it be bad we used the breakfast radishes ok we ate a few cold too and the beautiful spinach as well as a few of the shallots from our box it turned out delicious not heavy at all and surprisingly light for it being pasta and all oh and containing bacon but it really made for a delicious light summer dinner don t get rid of your radish greens they are very nutritious and can be used for any number of things in salads in smoothies in stir frys i happened to be making some homemade chicken bone broth and threw them in there with it i m all for being resourceful and reducing waste butter lettuce recently i posted about how much i love salads and how they re the best super fast and healthy dinner for busy weeknights aaaaand i still think that butter lettuce is so soft and yet crisp and delicious i think that these would also be perfect for a lettuce cup but this time we opted for the traditional salad route however the salad we made was anything but traditional topped with quinoa loaded with veggies and dressed in the most delicious creamy avocado dressing you ll find it hard to believe it s just a salad the dressing isn t pictured above but it truly is amazing bok choy pac choi green garlic so another confession you guys are really making me wear my heart on my sleeve today when i saw my farm list pac choi on the list for the box i had no idea what it was and then when i saw the picture i said to myself wait that s bok choy well it turns out from what i was able to conclude that ...
