    CSA Box

    I was absolutely blown away by my overflowing CSA box this week. So much great stuff to use!

    The heirloom tomato, grape tomatoes and a red tomato went into a tomato and blue cheese salad (more on that later this week). Another tomato went into a summertime favorite for the kids and I: lemony tomato pasta . . . again, more later this week. I have big plans for pestos — a basil one and a kale one that I am experimenting with.

    Now, off to roast radishes, beets and more. As for the corn? It has a date with the grill … mmmm.

    Any suggestions for summer turnips? I’ve never had them before.

    In My CSA Box – Week 2

    1 bunch radishes
    1 bunch summer turnips
    1 bunch beets

    1 bunch basil
    3 leeks
