This afternoon, I picked up our weekly box of vegetables from Delvin Farms. It is always fun to see what we have - fresh, organic vegetables whose purchase supports a local farmer. (When I posted the photo on Facebook, the long Italian eggplant in the center was, well, veeeery popular.... ) If you are in the Nashville area and are interested in Community Supported Agriculture, all the information you need is here.
I then made a big salad for dinner tonight and work lunches, consisting of items from Delvin boxes from last week and this week, and other things I found in the pantry:
1 smallish spaghetti squash, which I roasted the other day while making soup
1 chopped red bell pepper
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled, chopped, boiled 15 minutes
1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 28 oz can tomatoes, drained and chopped
1/4 c grapeseed oil
LOTS of sage
salt, thyme, granulated onion, granulated garlic to taste
Farm to table, y'all.

I have a fear of the CSA! I shared a share with a co-worker a couple times this year, and while I appreciated the free local produce (I didn't have to pay for my share of her share ... sweet!), I don't think I'd like the surprise element from week to week. I like to plan my meals a week in advance (cause I'm a nerd for menu planning!). So I like to go to the farmer's market each week with a list of what I need. I know, I'm weird.
Bianca, I'm not organized enough to menu plan on a regular basis, so the unpredictability suits me!
