3 Weeks of Vegetables!

I have been on a little computer hiatus for the last month or so, just trying to soak in the last drops of summer. It has been quite wonderful, but in so doing I have missed reporting on three weeks of incredible CSA veggies. Here is a brief overview of the deliciousness that I have been picking up from the Vegetable Ranch every Tuesday.

Week 15

This week brought me a very solid, standard selection of amazing veggies that are staples in any kitchen!

• Carrots 
• Tomatoes
• Onions
• Eggplant
• Garlic
• Lettuce
• Parsley
• Kale 

Week 16

Another great week with a package of vegetables that included some of my all time favorites, like beets, cherry tomatoes and salad mix!

• Onions
• Beets
• Potatoes
• Bok choy
• Squash
• Tomatoes
• Cherry tomatoes
• Salad mix

Week 17

More yumminess and even more variety, with some new treats like cauliflower and salad turnips.

• Eggplant
• Squash
• Onions
• Cauliflower
• Cabbage
• Tomatoes
• Cucumbers
• Salad turnips
• Lettuce

Salad turnips are not something you see every day at the grocery store, so you might be wondering what you can do with them. First of all, I store them just like I store radishes (cut off ends and keep them in some water in the fridge). As for how to use them, they definitely are a great addition to any salad, just like the name implies. They are a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a great crunch. They can also be roasted or sauteed for delicious results.
