It's CSA Week, Time to Break Out the Test Kitchen Apron

This is the week! I finally get to pick up my first CSA box on Wednesday.

King’s Hill Farm, from Mineral Point, Wis., makes my delivery every other week since I opted for only a half share this week. I want to be sure I’m not going to waste a bunch of food before I go full share.

I’m excited to see what goodies I get. And I’m especially excited to have a chance to use some of the recipes I’ve been seeing on this new Google Group: Cooking Away My CSA.

I found out about the CSA challenge from the Cooking Away My CSA creator, Flour Girl, who wanted each participant to share a recipe or veggie use each week.

Mission accomplished. The level of enthusiasm, creativity in use of ingredients and mouth-watering cooking suggestions have made the flood of email from the group worth it.

I’m hoping to get some garlic scapes so I can try the garlic scape pesto recipe I saw floating around.
