Chop, Saute, Dress...

GREENS and HERBS...

The first box is out to all of the members and for some possibly already gone!

I am not adding a single recipe but giving you a link this time.  Stretch your basket even further by eating the greens.  Beet, carrot and radish greens are all edible!  A few staples to have on hand to enjoy these nutritious leaves are bacon, balsamic vinegar, and a favorite cheese (mine is feta).  Saute, steam or eat them fresh in salads for a new flavor.  Below is the link that gives you several ideas to try in your kitchen.  I have tried a couple new recipes this year but haven't found one that is better than using bacon!  We will have paper copies with the next baskets.

Questions about using some of the herbs that may be new to you?  Here are a couple suggestions for using fresh herbs.
  • Try them in a fresh salad - start with a small amount and then increase to your preference.
  • Chop them and freeze them in ice cube trays with olive oil - you can save them until you find the perfect recipe and enjoy them throughout the year.
  • Make a basic fresh herb vinaigrette dressing.
  • Roasted vegetables or potatoes with fresh herbs is a great way to introduce the flavors to your cooking.
  • If you are more comfortable with using dried herbs, look online for quick tips on making your own dried herbs.
  • Mexican dishes often call for cilantro and oregano.  Italian dishes use basil and oregano.  Chives are somewhat similar to green onions and are a great garnish with many dishes.


Call us!!!  We will gladly answer questions so that your fresh produce is enjoyed by your family.  Follow Krista on Pinterest.  I have lots of food pins and there are many that I haven't tried cooking but fit well with the fresh ingredients you are getting in the baskets.
