First CSA Share

Today I picked up my first CSA share of the season. I signed up for the produce & egg programs so I received:

A dozen eggs
Radishes
Green onions
Spinach
Mustard Greens
Mixed Lettuce

The CSA gal Karin said everything had been harvested this morning so it was super fresh! I was happy to see the lettuce and spinach because I wanted to make some good salads this week. I don’t normally eat radishes but I’ll give them a try and green onions are good for lots of things. The mustard greens however are another story. I’m not really a “greens” kind of gal. I never eat collard greens or cooked spinach. I don’t necessarily dislike them, I just never eat them.

Luckily Karin gave me a recipe for Garlicky Mustard Greens. I also found a recipe online for Mustard Greens Gratin. I’m going to try one of them tomorrow I hope.

Picking up the CSA share was really easy and only took a few minutes. It was no different that going to the grocery store – actually faster! I’m really looking forward to the rest of the season.
