CSA Box for the Week of September 26, 2016
Greetings, friends! We’ve just launched our season of dried beans for the year, and we’re thrilled to be including the first of the new crop in the CSA this week! The dried beans are quite a process, and we wanted to share a bit about it. It all starts with planting in spring followed by […]
Roasted Pepper and Eggplant Dip with Caramelized Onions
To be 100 percent honest, I’m not the most fervent eggplant fan in the world. But this recipe is incredibly delicious. The caramelized onion creates a sweet, balanced flavor. Works well as a dip with warm pita, vegetables and corn chips, or as a spread on bagels, sandwiches and more! Ingredients: 2 medium-sized eggplant 1 Anaheim […]

Spigarello Apple Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing
I’ve come to really, really love the spigarello broccoli leaf we started growing this year. It’s sweet, tender, and has great flavor. It works just as well lightly cooked as it does raw, such as in this fresh salad. This is a wonderful (and very easy to make!) late summer/autumn dish, perfect as apples come […]
