It's CSA Time!

This year, we joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) and are splitting a share with another family.  It's our first week of getting a box from the Moss Hill Farm CSA and I'm beyond excited! This was the update from Farmer Floyd this morning:  "I think we will have Joi Choi, carrots, beets, radishes, leeks, onions, 2 kinds of lettuce and winterboro kale."

So I've been spending my lunchtime trying to figure out what to DO with it all!  Enter . . .

At this point, this is what the adult menu for next week looks like (Moose still mostly has his own menu, and samples ours to test out his tastebuds):

• Sunday: use leeks in a quiche (this makes me nostalgic for England, where leeks are a quiche - or tart, as they call it there - staple);
• Monday: Asian stir fry using the Choi and some onion; 
• Tuesday: leftover Shrimp and Orzo bake (which I'm making for dinner this Friday)
• Wednesday: we have a standing dinner date with close family friends
• Thursday: leftover quiche
• Friday: leftover stir fry

I also plan to:

• Oven roast the carrots for the Moose; 
• Have roast beets and goat cheese salads using the beets and lettuce for my lunches; 
• Make baked kale chips

Only the radishes have me stumped.  I wish my dad lived closer - he loves raw radishes on his salads!  The only semi-promising thing I've found is making pickled radishes, but I'm skeptical.  If you're interested in seeing what I found so far, check out my CSA board on Pinterest.

I really no idea how much of everything we'll have (pick-up is not until Thursday).  And we will split with another family.  These first few weeks will be more of a guessing game, I imagine, and I'm open to pretty nearly any suggestion on how to best take advantage of these beautiful vegetables we'll have.
