Needless to say, our intake of leafy green vegetables has increased dramatically! I was so excited to see kale in our box this week. I've heard about how fantastic kale chips are, and I've been dying to try to make them. I will let you know how they turn out! One bonus with this farm is that they grow a ton of cilantro. We use cilantro in so much of our cooking that getting a fresh batch every week is fabulous. We're eating more spinach salads right now as we wait for the more traditional veggies and fruits to start coming. The radishes are beautiful, but I still don't know the best way to use them. If you happen to read this and have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
We also received garlic scapes which we knew nothing about ahead of time, but there is an awesome pesto recipe that the farm recommended. I can't wait to try it! Week 2, not a ton of variety, but we are already inspired and learning. There is something that just feels right about eating with the season. I think it makes each type of produce more special. I can see us looking forward to the great treasures that every season brings since we will have gone without them for a while. Absence does make the heart "grow" fonder.
