CSA 2011 #1

Image
By
Today Isis and I went and picked up our first CSA share box for the year! This year they are putting them in these cute canvas bags so it was actually much easier for me to get it and get it in my house while also getting Isis inside! 

Veggies this week:
Collard Greens
Green Onions
Buttercrunch Lettuce
Cilantro
Oregano
St. John's Wort
Endive
Garlic Stem
Radishes
1 dozen eggs

My meals this week:
Collard Greens Quiche
-I have a great crustless quiche recipe from a friend of mine where I basically just do 8 or 9 eggs, some sour cream, cheddar cheese and whatever veggies I want (this time Collard Greens) with some cheddar cheese on top. It's really easy and works great for any meal! I may add some garlic stems to this, too.
CSA veggies used: collard greens, garlic stem, eggs

Mexican-Style Stuffed Potatoes with a Buttercrunch Lettuce Salad
- This just seemed like a simple meal! With the salad, I'm just doing the lettuce, some onion, broccoli and ranch dressing.
CSA veggies used: buttercrunch lettuce, cilantro, green onions

-For this meal, I'm really just going to bake some chicken breasts with lemon, sage & butter. The endive in the share this week was more the green leafy part, so I'm hoping that words just as well when you caramelize it with some butter, garlic & shallots! I guess we'll find out!!
CSA veggies used: endive, garlic stem

-I have actually never eaten radishes in a way that wasn't just crunchy on a salad, so I'm really curious to see how I like this recipe! 
CSA veggies used: radishes

Baked Balsamic Chicken
-I make this recipe all the time. I just mix some olive oil, balsamic vinegar, oregano, salt & pepper & pour it over some chicken breasts & bake it in the oven. I usually serve it with garlic green beans. I normally use dried oregano, but I'm going to use the fresh oregano this time!
CSA veggies used: oregano, garlic stem

So, I've decided to drive to your house for dinner every night. A drive across 3 states isn't that bad, right? ;-) I hope you are well, Cameron! Kudos for using the CSA!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

By
This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

By
Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

By
Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger &  me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed.  There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
