CSA Week Two

CSA week two

Just picked up week two of my CSA share from Mattawoman Creek Farms. More leafy leafyness! Here’s what I got.

Wanna see my veggies growing outta the ground? Check it out!

Bok Choi, Tatsoi, Red Oakleaf Lettuce, Mizuna, Waldmann’s Green Leaf Lettuce. Got these last week too, see notes on em from week one.
Red Romaine & Green Romaine Lettuce. This will make salads. I’m thinking about making the caesar salad from Veganomicon, which I’ve never made yet.
Spinach. Makes you strong like Popeye! No better breakfast in my opinion than scrambled tofu with sauteed spinach on the side. YUM.
Collard Greens. If you’ve never had them, collards sort of taste somewhere between cabbage and kale. These are really tough greens that need a lot of cooking (unless you wanna use them as a wrap, then just lightly steam them and fill em up). Another collard recipe coming right up, watch for that entry next.

Have you ever cooked or made anything with fennel? I saw Barefoot Contessa do a fresh salad with orange vinigrete dressing with the actually fennel bulb in it.

I'd like to try it, but I'm nervous I won't like it.

Thanks for the recipe, I will using it for my greens. Looks so yummy, I love slow cooked southern greens but haven't had them since going veg.

I am in love with roasted boy choy, I think I snaged that idea from PPK. Just a little shoyu, sesame oil, and garlic, and roast on 425 until they are done to your liking.

Tatsoi is my new favorite food right now, so glad to see it in the box again.
