foodie friday

on wednesday i picked up our first box of fruits and veggies from our csa i was telling you about a while back.

it was filled with ...
red russian kale
red lettuce
green lettuce
green onions
strawberries
garlic
broccoli
swiss chard

lots and lots of good green stuff!!
the green onions and garlic have the biggest bulbs i have ever seen and the strawberries are to die for!

seeing this overflowing box compelled casey to jump right into the kitchen.
he organized our refrigerator to make room for our fresh veggies and even made dinner.
i think this csa is going to be all that i had hoped it to be!

casey used one of the recipes delvin farms suggested for the swiss chard and it was SO good!

easy swiss chard
bunch of swiss chard
1 t. butter
1 glove garlic, sliced
2 T. olive oil (or coconut oil)
2 T. water
pinch of crushed red pepper
salt

roughly chop leaves into inch wide strip.
heat a saucepan on medium setting, add oil, a few small slices of garlic and the crushed red peppers.
saute for about a minute and add the chopped chard leaves and water.
turn thoroughly and cover.
check for doneness after about 5 minutes.
add salt to taste and a small amount of butter.
serve immediately while deliciously warm!
