We are on a flex plan with our CSA, which means we can choose which weeks we want a box, so because we were on vacation last week we had three weeks between deliveries instead of two. Our veggie drawers were looking pretty bare.
Fennel - One of these I'll roast with the beets for a salad. The other may be cooked with onions to go on a steak.
Red Beets - Oh, do I love beets. This is our first batch & candy striped & golden are yet to come.
Leaf Lettuce - For salads & on sandwiches
Cauliflower - I think this will be BBQed as a side dish with Indian BBQ Sauce.
Red Kale - Its too warm to use this in our favorite kale soup so I'll have to find a good summer use.
Red Kohlrabi - Probably will go in a slaw.
Purple Scallions - I might cook these up with the fennel.
Sugar Snap Peas - I think these will just get steamed tonight & eaten as a side dish
Strawberries - These are the last local strawberries of the season. Perhaps another shortcake is in order.
Fresh Garlic - We use garlic in a lot of cooking so this will be easy to use.

The fennel looks so good.. Need to get some while it lasts
make chips with your kale! wash and dry 1/2 bunch of kale. trim tough stems and cut into 2 inch pieces. Toss with some oil (olive, sesame, whatever), salt, pepper and some nutritional yeast if you have it. then lay them all out on parchment paper or a silpat and bake at 35 for 10-15 min. Delicious and healthy alternative to one of my favorite summertime snacks: potato chips.
