Purple 

8/6/2014

 
Our little girl is pretty girly, give her anything pink or purple and she's happy.   She gets extra excited for her veggies when I hand her a purple bean or we have purple grilled potatoes with dinner.  Dark colored vegetables are especially healthy too.  They contain more antioxidants than their lighter counterparts.  Purple fruits and veggies can also help to decrease blood pressure and inflammation related to diabetes & arthritis.  Even more reason to enjoy these beauties from the field this week!
This Week in your share-
Purple Kale or Rainbow Chard, Purple Potatoes, Purple Pepper, Rat-Tail Radish, Carrots, Herbs, Lettuce Mix,Mixed Beans, Tomato & 'Pearl Drop' Onions

We love eating green beans right off the plant, when I do cook them I try to keep them nice and crunchy.  Last night I made something similar to this dish I found on realsimple.com-
Garlicky Green Beans with Pine Nuts

Here is our simple and delicious dip for any kind of radish- 
I always adjust the size of the batch as needed, so the measurements are easy to work with.

Creamy Feta Dip 
  • 1 Part Feta Cheese- We love Maplebrook Farm's feta 
  • 2 Parts Sour Cream
  • As many chives, scallions or onion greens as you would like
  • Salt & pepper

    Greetings 
    CSA Members!

    While life on the farm with young children is taking every drop of my time I am putting this on pause, with hopes to pick it up at some point!
