We were quite excited with the pick up last Saturday & are anxiously awaiting tomorrrow. I joined because I wanted us to try more veggies -you know the ones you swore off from childhood. Well here we are in the very 1st week & we've already discovered BEETS -we love them!! We always assumed we hated them because all we'd tried were canned, but roasted beets were simply wonderful! Rubbed with olive oil, sprinkled with salt & then roasted in a 350 degree oven for 90 mins & we were in pink juice heaven. Thanks for helping us to discover this healthy treat & for future offerings of equal wondrousness.

So you're plenty savvy -- it's me that's holding things up! I'm hopeful it'll be live within a few days. We’re at work on setting up a recipe exchange right now!

Made some ww pasta and sauced it with the chard, one of our favorite ways to eat it! Thought others might like our recipe: Saute lots of chopped chard (I used 7 cups) until tender with onions (one large, thinly sliced) and garlic(2-5 cloves), add a few chopped tomatoes, and some crushed red pepper (fresh or canned tomatoes), and cook until tomatoes are softened. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss with your cooked pasta, and there you go! I add good grated parmesan and if you like, some chopped kalamata olives, right before serving while the pasta is still piping hot. Would love to hear other people's favorite easy recipes for our yummy CSA veggies! Maybe you could have a section of your website devoted to this (or do you have already and I'm just wasn't savvy enough to find it?). Take care! Looking forward to my week 2.

In one night we had beets, fennel, and squash along with a big salad topped with a scoop of pesto chicken salad. We took pictures...
