I did as best I could with the farm share this week:
cucumber slices
I barely have time to work on my personal writing projects, let alone cook for writing group. But one of our members has wheat allergies. I needed a gluten-free appetizer in a hurry, so I grabbed store-bought hummus and sliced up the farm cucumber.
taco salad
I was craving a taco salad, so I used about half the mongo head of leaf lettuce from the farm for this easy, favorite dinner.
basil salad
I used the other half of the lettuce for a salad to go with grilled italian sausage. I left out the onion this time, though, and went heavy on the basil. Yummy!
kale/italian sausage soup
I used all the farm kale in an easy soup with onion and leftover italian sausage. It was an awful lot of kale, though . . . should have doubled the broth. There is still some leftover kale and onion, but all the broth and italian sausage was eaten up. I'll have to think of something to do with it.
Never got to the broccoli or zucchini, and there is still a nice portion of basil left. Yikes! We're falling down on the job.
And the new farm box came last night.

have you tried making pesto with the basil? that'll take out a whole bunch of it.
our farm box arrives today too...
Ya know, I never make basil. I don't know why.
But this basil is purple . . . I think I'm going to put it in the burgers we're planning to grill tonight.
