Adventures in Produce
I joined a community farm program, Full Circle Farm, and got all kinds of exciting produce on Wednesday. It was a big box full, and pretty much everything is pictured below!
So far, we have had potato-leek soup, which was basically potatoes and leeks, cooked in water, then blended up with the little hand blender and then seasoned with salt and pepper. I stirred in a half-cup of sour cream right before serving it. Surprisingly enough, both the girls liked it! Katrina had three bowlfuls, and Abby finished her first bowl.
I also made salad to go with the soup. On day one, salad was the salad greens, a cut-up pear, walnuts and a dressing I found online and made. The dressing wasn't very good, and I decided that I just don't like walnuts that much. So tonight's salad was greens, a cut-up pear, almonds and a bleu cheese vinagrette that I got at the grocery store today. Plus Abby made Irish Soda bread, which was very yummy.
We still have a lot of produce to get through. I'm going to make coleslaw tomorrow. Both the girls said they like it, so that's something. I need to find an appropriate dressing for it, because I hate it with mayonnaise.
Here's this week's haul:
