CSA Challenge: Italian Wedding Soup

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 09:20:46 -0700

We had leftover ground beef and pork sausage from making stuffed peppers, so we decided to make some Italian wedding soup and made some small meatballs for it. The soup was incredibly easy to make. We sauteed some garlic, onion, celery and carrot...

CSA Challenge: Stuffed peppers with homemade tomato sauce

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 10:16:04 -0700

I haven't had a lot of time for updating recently because work is so busy. However, I was thinking about making some tomato sauce this morning and remembered that I hadn't even updated about the first sauce I made a few weeks ago. One of the main...

CSA Challenge: Pickles

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:47:04 -0700

A few weeks ago, we forgot to place our CSA order and ended up getting some pickling cucumbers in our basket as part of the "Farmer's Choice" mix of veggies they give you when you don't order for yourself. I've never made pickles before, but afte...

CSA Challenge Meals #29, #30, plus RIBS!

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 08:19:52 -0700

This meal didn't actually use anything from the CSA, but that's ok, because it was so darn good! Friday and Saturday, there was entirely too much BBQ stuff on Food Network making us hungry, and Seattle has a lack of "good" BBQ joints, so Leah dec...

We got tomatillos in our basket last week, so of course we had to make another easy sauce. First, boil 6-8 tomatillos, 1 jalapeno, 3-4 garlic cloves and a small onion. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno (leave a few if you like it spicier) and ro...

CSA Challenge: Marillenknödel, or Apricot Dumplings

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:25:39 -0700

I don't know how I found out about these dumplings, but I do know they are good! And I know we had a ton of apricots from 2 weeks worth of CSA fruit. We made them a few years ago, but this time they turned out way better. It helps to make them wh...

CSA Challenge Meal #25

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Sun, 16 Aug 2009 08:50:11 -0700

I think we did a good job of using up our CSA veggies this week. After a week-plus off from having sauteed greens, we ended up making sauteed chard, which turned out really good. I don't know what it was about this time as compared to the last fe...

CSA Challenge Meals #22, #23, #24 plus CAKE!

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 10:40:28 -0700

What better way to use up a whole bunch of carrots than to make a carrot cake? I used up about 2/3 of the carrots from the CSA just for this cake, which I made on Saturday. We just finished off the last pieces on Thursday night. So, this cake has...

We steamed some rice in the rice cooker with a can of diced tomatoes and chopped up "spicy greens" mix from the CSA. Leah made a spicy sauce from roasted tomatillos, roasted jalepenos, roasted green onions, lime, cumin and garlic. She pan fried s...

CSA Challenge Meal #19

nobody@vox.com(Jacki Huber) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 19:53:19 -0700

We're almost to "clean out the fridge" stage to see what we've got to use as sides for dishes. We didn't pick out our basket this week and got a nice variety of items, but we almost used them all up early in the week already. The eggs and the gar...
