Summer Eating...Farm Style

Community Supported Agriculture Anxiety Disorder

Welp, its that time of year again. The potential for CSAAD to creep in grows by the minute!

We signed up for a half share again this year and hopefully we are better prepared.  We, unfortunately, wasted quite a bit of what we got last round but this year at least we know what to expect.  The early part of the summer is quite a bit of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, peas and beans which are easy so this go around we are doing much better. 

I honestly never knew how good a radish sandwich was! I was watching some travel show and of course can't remember where they were or what they were sightseeing but I remembered what was on their plates! Ha! They were in a little cafe and were eating simple open faced sandwiches that consisted of nothing but bread, butter (and I mean real butter, not the imitation crap), radish slices and a sprinkle of salt.  I recreated them once I got my next pick-up and now have a new summer staple/favorite.  Seriously if you like a nice peppery crunch this is where its at!

Also, as I had this leafy bad boy hanging out in my garden...

...and since we got strawberries in one of our first baskets, I got to make one of my favorite desserts!

Strawberries, Rhubarb, Sugar, Vanilla and a little flour.

I cheated a little and used store bought crust...

Mmmm all gooey and yummy!

Strawberry Rhubarb pie!  

First of the season :)

As always thanks for stopping by, and happy baking!
