However, I was totally unprepared for the cooking inspiration that comes with having all my vegetables picked out for me! Planning meals around my full bag of veggies was so much fun last week. I can't wait to see what Derek brings home tonight :)
Here's what was in my bag from Greenbrier Farms:
- 1 homemade ball of pizza dough
- 3 eggplant (one huge, 2 skinny)
- 6 Zephyr summer Squash
- 1 pint assorted heirloom cherry tomatoes
- 5 giant heirloom tomatoes
- 6 potatoes
- 2 green bell peppers
- about 2 pints of okra
Night 1:
Roasted Potatoes and Okra with Baked Chicken
Lunch Day 2:
A Salad for Mommy and handfuls of tomatoes for the girls
(who complained when the tomatoes were all gone!)

My Dad always makes tomatoes this way with homemade dressing every Labor Day :) |
Night 3:
Squash and Potato Cheesy Casserole with Chicken Nuggets (for the girls only)

Awesome Fork Technique: This stuff disappeared! I'm hoping for more eggplant in this week's share. |
Night 5:
Assorted Leftovers
(no picture needed)
Night 6:
Salmon and Rice with Cheesy Spinach Stuffed Squash
Night 7:
Chicken, Bacon, Cheddar, Bell Pepper, and Ranch Wraps with Green Beans
(not made yet... maybe I'll sneak a picture in later this evening)
(All of the recipes that I used or modified for this week can be found on my CSA Pinterest Board. I'll add whatever else I cook up with notes as the summer progresses.)

Oh my goodness! That all looks amazing! We have a co-op here, and I think I'll definitely take advantage next year!
I love tomatoes with mozzarella--makes my mouth water just thinking about it!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Melissa! I was just talking with my church sisters today about noisy rabbit (http://www.thenoisyrabbit.com/), and they also talked about CSA which I had no idea what it was...then I read your blog! We'll definitely look into it before deciding which one to go with!
