so a few weeks ago, i was in a very healthy new kick on life type of mood, and decided to join a CSA! figured it would help me cook at home more, eat better with fresh produce each week, etc. i found one that still had winter shares open, and even includes some fun recipes with the weekly newsletters. conveniently they also have a pick-up location right by work! so i now have a small share with Enterprise Farms. I signed on up a few weeks ago...though i had to wait a few weeks for my first share, and by then i missed avocado season. so sad!
Anywho, this past thursday, i picked up my first share. among lovely things included were beets, red potatoes, romaine, spinach, boy choy, carrots, onions (which had unfortunately gone bad), pink grapefruit, apples, and plum tomatoes. so exciting! i started planning out what i need to make...and i am going to need to cook at home most nights so that i eat it all... i guess that was the point!
anywho, tonight i decided to make braised bok choy (another recipe from epicurious). it was...quite simple! 4 ingredients, and maybe 10 minutes, and there is a tasty greeny side dish! its amazing how wilted greens shrink so much!
for dinner, i paired it with some leftover beet risotto, and then made a quick salad with some of the spinach, tomato, carrot, and leftover roasted beets. i may have overdone it a bit with the spinach...i am so bad at judging salad amounts! i always end up making too much! yum yum yum yum at least i love salad! i guess i'll be eating a lot more of it these days, with salad greens coming every week!
