CSA Food Box #17: Carrot-Orange Soup
Monday, July 26th, 2010
What to do when you have accumulated 3-6 bunches of carrots? Make carrot soup with orange juice and zest. This is a recipe I got from family Chef and it is really clean and healthy. We stirred in a bunch of dill and a spoonful of sour cream instead of cilantro to garnish. Have you ever had fresh squeezed carrot, orange, and ginger juice? OK, next time let’s try this with ginger as an addition.

CSA Food Box #12: Cold Kale Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing Recipe
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010
We get greens every single week. So this week, it was time to find another creative way to ingest more greens. I googled, “Creative Kale Recipe” and an interesting one came up from a blog that tried to recreate a dish from M Cafe in Beverly Hills. Folks started commenting on the blog post that they love this signature dish from M Cafe. So I then looked for the actual recipe and found a video online about how to make it as well as the restaurant recipe from M Cafe. This is a very interesting, delicious, and unique greens recipe!

CSA Food Box #10: Arugula, Avocado, Beet, & Goat Cheese Salad Recipe
Wednesday, June 30th, 2010
I am getting better and better at creatively throwing together the ingredients that I randomly have in my refrigerator with the last of my CSA food box veggies. Sometimes the concoctions are somewhat edible and sometimes there is a tasty recipe that comes out of googling various ingredients in order to compile a worthwhile creation to share! And yes, I am behind on the CSA food box weeks but I am still keeping the week numbers in sequence to make myself feel better. This is a great summer salad and I actually made a Meyer Lemon Vinaigrette Recipe from the Big Sur Bakery Cookbook instead of the dressing with this Serious Eats Recipe below. I will list the Meyer Lemon Dressing recipe in the next post. It is a total California recipe and it adds additional uniqueness locally grown goods to this salad.

CSA Food Box #9: Fava Bean Dip Recipe – Foul Mudammes
Saturday, June 12th, 2010
OK, it must have taken us until this week to finally understand Fava Beans (i.e. shell them the proper way) and to find a recipe that makes them taste good. This is the best Fava Bean Recipe that we have found so far!
Thanks to Martha Stewart I figured out that you need to do an initial de-podding of the Fava Beans. Then you need to boil them. Then after boiling the Fava’s you need to blanch them in cold water for a few minutes. After blanching the Fava’s you have to then peel them from their exterior shell to find a smaller greenish bean. Then they are ready to work with!

CSA Food Box #8: Jamie Oliver’s My Favorite American Chopped Salad
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
If you haven’t seen any of Jamie Oliver’s cookbooks head to your local library and check one out. They are my all-time most irresistible cookbooks because of the lovely layouts and photographs. In addition to the aesthetic beauty of these books, Oliver’s recipes are based around fresh ingredients and straightforward flavor.
This is a recipe from “Jamie’s Dinners, The Essential Family Cookbook.”
