Heirlooms Galore, More Carrots, Beets, Lettuce & Melon

I wasn’t expecting to get lettuce this late in the season, but I’m so happy that’s one thing I can cross off my shopping this this week after picking up our CSA share yesterday.

I didn’t waste any time sauteing the lush beet greens either.

I served those alongside some skillet chicken and, with a little vino, it felt like a gourmet meal. Always a treat midweek.

Here’s what else we have from Sandhill Organics to cook up and share this weekend:

  • Watermelons ( Tipi Produce in Evansville, WI)
  • Fresh Basil
  • Red Beets (greens already eaten)
  • Carrots
  • Romano Beans
  • Green Onions
  • Lettuce
  • Beefsteak Tomatoes
  • Yellow “Taxi” Tomatoes
  • “Juliet” Grape Tomatoes
  • Assorted Heirloom Tomatoes

I’m thinking we may mix up an heirloom salsa tomorrow (with some Irving Garden cukes for crunch) for a pre-supper snack and probably just have simple tomato/mayo/salt sandwiches on toasted bread for lunches. Or maybe even for breakfast.
