CSA! CSA!

I know I always talk about how great it is being a part of our local CSA. I am just SO into it, veggies are my favorite things in the world! (Next to cheese. And pork. And dim sum. Okay, fine, maybe I have a few faves)

My roommate and I are splitting a half share of just vegetables- half share meaning we pick up every other week. Here is this week's pickup list:

1 head bok choi

1 bunch kale

1 bunch swiss chard

1 head broccoli

1 head green lettuce

1 head red lettuce

.5 pint sugar snap peas

5 garlic scapes

.3 lb braising mix

1.5 lb zucchini

And here's a lil snapshot of dinner! I used the garlic scapes, sauteed in olive oil, and drizzled them over some things I already had in the fridge- Trader Joe's beluga lentils and chicken jalapeno sausages topped with cooked spinach and ricotta salata. Then a small side salad with the CSA lettuce and snap peas, dressed with lemon, olive oil, and parm. So simple, so yum.

Garlic scapes are really becoming something of a hero to me- It adds such a sweet garlic flavor when tossed in a dish, but it's so much more subtle than regular garlic. Plus it's green and looks so purty!
