Our CSA is in now in its eight week and I’m loving all of the tomatoes.  The hanging baskets in my kitchen have never been so full.  


These are the tomatoes that were in my box.  I can never remember all of the names of the heirloom varieties, but there are a bunch of them here.

Another dozen beautiful brown eggs.  I think this means we’re due for quiche or omelets for dinner in the coming weeks.  This week I’ll be using a handful of them in potato salad.  


And speaking of potatoes, here are some great new potatoes from our CSA farmer!  


This squash has already gone into the squash casserole I had planned for last week.  The carrots will go into salads or be used up next week.  Thankfully carrots have a relatively long fridge life.  


More lovely basil which will be used in some of the pasta dishes this week.  The bell pepper will go into gazpacho and it’s unclear what I’ll do with the hot peppers.  


Beets!  Beets are definitely my favorite thing that the CSA has introduced me to.  Art requested that I revisit the Roasted Beet Risotto I made a few weeks ago, so we’ll be enjoying that later in the week.  




Yes, I have a tomato habit.  These will be used up in the various dishes I’m making this week, gazpacho, and salads.  These are all from our CSA farmer, but not from the actual veggie box.  


These zucchini are huge.  I bought them specifically for stuffing.  I’ve never made stuffed zucchini before and I’m very excited to try.  


I’m a fool for red onions.  Enough said.  


As long as the cucumbers keep coming, I’ll keep making gazpacho!  Green onions and white onions will be used in various dishes throughout the week.  


I went to the market with the goal of getting the ingredients to make potato salad.  This means I got to buy extra potatoes.  


Yes, I bought even more tomatoes.  


These are “mucho nacho” jalapeño peppers.  Art got them to fill with goat cheese and wrap in bacon.  


Lance loves radishes in salads, so I couldn’t pass these up.  


And, of course, Art needs his fresh fruit fix for the week.  This week we managed to pick up 3 yellow peaches (free stone, even) and 3 nectarines.  The $30 budget for the market worked much better this week!
