What to do with CSA this week: 10/16/10

• Carnival Squash – Using these guys for decoration until after Thanksgiving. They look so cute on my mantle, window sill, and buffet table.
• radishes – for salads
• Mixed greens – Going to make beans and greens
• Fuji Apples – These are the best for eating plain or with Krema peanut butter
• Concord Grapes – I’m going to boil these down to the juice and add it to what I got from the last batch in the freezer, in anticipation of making grape jelly*

*The only type of jelly my son will eat on his PB&J. Finally, I can make something he will eat! Theoretically.

What to do with CSA this week: 10/9/10

What a gorgeous fall weekend here in Central Ohio

• Squash – I’m going to see if I can’t concoct some kind of quick bread or pancake that uses squash puree. These guys are starting to stack up.
  
• Green peppers – pasta salad made with feta, peppers, and bowties.
• Swiss chard – Spinach Dip (chard makes a good sub for spinach in most everything that calls for cooked spinach)
  
• Apples – I’m going to make an apple pie with the Golden Delicious and snack on the fujis. mmmm
