Saturdays in the summer are splendid. I simply adore seeing what is in my CSA box, and this week was a great share. Blueberries, snap peas, new potatoes were among my favorite items in this box.
I had a rough week and hadn't used up the veggies from last week's share, so my mom and I spent today prepping a lot of veggies and cooking up some delicious food. My mom has been a huge help to me this summer, since I'm having some health issues. I couldn't have done any of this without her.
We sliced zucchini, yellow squash, and tomatoes, and layered them in a baking dish that had sautéed onions on the bottom. We stuck fresh basil in between the veggies. We baked this in the oven for a while then added a topping of ground almonds and nutritional yeast, and put it back in the oven until the topping browned. Tasty, mediterranean type dish. I forgot to take an "after" picture of this one.
Next, we made a cole slaw that used raw cashews as the base for the dressing, with raw ACV, water, onions, and honey mixed in. This cole slaw is fantastic. I've eaten several bowls already.
I get two dozen free range eggs every week, and we had 4 dozen in the fridge, so I thought some quiches were in order. We made a bacon and cheddar quiche, and then two bacon, cheddar, broccoli, and onion quiches- one with a crust and one without. I don't know if I was just starving today or what, but I had a couple pieces of quiche, too, and I'm contemplating another.
I have more bacon and more cabbage, so tomorrow I plan on making bacon wrapped cabbage in foil. Then I will attempt to make beet chips for the first time. Good eating weekend!
