Veggies Galore!

Thanks to my fabulous neighbors friends, Joy and Kortney, we got to go pick up another share from Vollmecke Farms this summer! The two are enjoying a vacation in the Grand Canyon, so we reap the benefits of them missing pick-up.

This time around we got tons of great fruits, veggies and spices! Our loot included:

• 1 quart cherry tomatoes
• 1 quart tomatoes
• 2 onions
• 1 bulb of garlic
• 1 green pepper
• 2 jalapeño peppers
• 1 habanero pepper
• 1 basket of beets
• 1 bag of green beans
• 2 buttercup squash
• 1 basket of potatoes
• 1 bag of apples
• Basil (both regular and Thai)

I can't even begin to imagine all of the possibilities of what we can do with this stuff! I already used the cherry tomatoes, onion, some garlic, and all of the peppers in a salsa. A lot of the other stuff will go with our meals for the next week or two (they must have known I had TONS of potatoes in the works). I'm a little excited about the beets, too - I've never had them (except with pickled eggs), so I want to try doing something a little fun with them. I contemplated making another pie with the apples, but after eating 3/4 of the last one by myself, I think it's in my best interest (as well as my thighs' best interest?!) to just snack on them plain :)

Thank you again, Joy and Kortney! <3
