Spring

6/18/2014

 
Picture
Spring got off to a slow start this year, but the past couple of weeks have been near perfect growing conditions.  Warm sun, not too cool at night, and just the right amount of rain.  The plants just love it and so do we!  
- For your first CSA share-
Kale or Rainbow Chard, Spring Garlic, Radish or Hakurei Turnips, Lettuce, Baby Bok Choy, Shoots and your choice of Herb.

This was our dinner the other night, so simple and delicious- 
Sesame Noodles with Bok Choy & Hakurei Turnips
  • Package of Soba or Udon noodles
  • Baby Bok Choy washed and roughly chopped
  • 4 stems of spring garlic chopped
  • 4 Hakurei turnips sliced
  • 1/4 c. sesame seeds
  • 4T Tamari or Soy sauce
  • 2t honey 
  • 2t rice vinegar
  • 4t sesame oil
  • 3T fresh herbs- I used cilantro & thai basil.

Cook noodles according to package.
In a large frying pan sautee the garlic in oil for a minute then add in the turnips, once they are tender add the bok choy and sesame seeds.  I like to add in a little bit of the tamari at this point too.  Let cook until the bok choy is just tender.
In a bowl combine tamari, honey vinegar and sesame oil.  Whisk together
Toss everything together in a large bowl, adding fresh herbs, enjoy!

I love making salad dressing, but for some reason I had never tried a Buttermilk dressing until last night.  It might be my new thing this summer...
Herbed Buttermilk Vinaigrette
  • 1/4 c. Buttermilk
  • 2T Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 2T Olive Oil
  • salt & pepper
  • 4T herbs- I used mostly chives with some parsley and thyme too 
Put everything in a canning jar and shake it up!
So good with sweet spring lettuce and fresh radishes

    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!
