FARM FRESH FRIDAY

This could be my favorite box so far.  How will we ever use all of these peppers?  Please post any recipes or suggestions you might have!  I think it's time to pull out my Rick Bayless and Bobby Flay cookbooks.

Now off to the store to pick up some meat to go will all of these beautiful veggies.  Then it's time to start cooking. 

FARM FRESH FRIDAY

Fridays are particularly exciting because we get to see what the land has brought us for harvest!  This week, we have some carrots, garlic chives, heirloom tomatoes, kale, beautiful red raspberries, fennel, cucumbers, Asian cucumbers, green peppers, and very pretty earthy Yukon gold potatoes.  We (I) also get my two dozen eggs.

Tonight we will be taking full advantage of the fresh potatoes and rightly mashing them along with some BBQ pork chops, fresh grilled corn and a nice fennel salad.

EAT YOUR BEETS

Hi! Welcome to our new Blog. Since Johnny is constantly sending friends and family pictures of the food we cook we thought we might as well start a blog rather than fill up your Inbox.

This summer we joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). The CSA is a way to support our local farmers. Each week our CSA, Simply Wisconsin LLC, delivers us one box of beautiful, delicious, fresh, LOCAL produce and eggs. We never know what we are going to get so it has forced us to get creative in the kitchen. I hope you enjoy our culinary journey.

Last weeks box included Beets! If only I knew beets were so delicious the last 28 years of my life. We recently discovered our love for Beets at The Publican, our favorite restaurant. We roasted our beets and served them on a bed of arugula with a side of grilled sourdough bread and fresh burrata cheese (mozzerella's creamy cousin). This dish was completely inspired by The Publican (http://www.thepublicanrestaurant.com/).



We ate every last bite. So please don't forget to Eat your beets. They are so delicious!
