thoughtful consumption

Here’s everything all together from last week’s CSA delivery:

• Italian parsley
• eggs
• delicious apples!
• potatoes
• coffee
• Bordeaux spinach
• pumpkin
• arugula
• butternut squash soup with topping
• field lettuce
• fava beans!
• broccoli

The apples are so sweet! Who needs Christmas candy with these around?

Fava beans are cool. Try this recipe with instructions for preparing them

I’ve roasted the pumpkin and prepared pulp for pumpkin bread. Yum!

The potatoes felt soft, and I was worried about their condition. However, once chopped, drizzled with olive oil, and roasted in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes, they were delicious.

The parsley has been great to have around. I thought about making tabouli with it, but instead I’ve kept the stems trimmed and in a glass of water covered with a plastic bag. I’ve had fresh parsley on pretty much everything. Last night, I just made pasta with olive oil, Parmesan, and parsley. It was yummy!

I had the soup for lunch one day with some lettuce the smallest spinach pieces for salad and some cheese toast. It was tasty, and I like the texture that the topping added. (Notice the fresh parsley!)

Enjoy your food!
