The food each week varies depending on the season, but this week's veggies were:
1 squash, 3 lbs. tomatoes, 2 lbs. bell peppers, 4 hot peppers, 1 head lettuce, 1 lb. salad greens, 1 lb. onions, 2 eggplants, and 1.5 lb. green beans.
Thank goodness my friend is coming by to take half of that off my hands! And the fruit was:
1 small cantaloupe, 1 small watermelon, and seven peaches.
I was invited to a Labor Day BBQ, and I volunteered to bring the pasta salad. Well, I intended to make a pasta salad, but it ended up being more a vegetable salad with a few macaronis thrown in for good measure...
Small red onion, bunch of tomatoes, half a chile pepper, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, can of whole corn, can of red kidney beans, minced garlic clove, and of course the pasta. All tossed in a dressing of vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, and 1 tsp. chili powder, and dash salt and sugar.
I had none left to take back from the BBQ. :)
Congrats on joining a CSA! My husband and I joined one this year and it has been great. The best thing about it (other than the constant supply of fresh, organically grown food) is that it forces you to try new things. We've had so much zucchini this summer that I've had to go searching for recipes that didn't include slathering it in butter and grilling it. Our CSA has a variety of pick-your-own vegetables and fruits. Right now, I'm enjoying mounds of raspberries. Delicious!
