This year we signed up to participate in a Community Supported Agriculture plan again. Last year was our first and a very positive experience overall. I admit though to being challenged as to how to cook or what to do or even identify properly some of the goods in our crate on occasion. I questioned our signing up again this year but opted to do so because it just seems like you can’t go wrong exploring with food that is grown so well and is so good for us. I determined I would need to be prepared each week to properly clean and store the goods and then be sure to try new recipes. I also determined that if we can’t get through all of the produce that I cook and freeze what can be. This week was our first pickup which included salad mix, spinach, baby cooking greens, radishes and oregano. I used to love radishes as a kid but can’t eat them anymore. A recipe was provided in our newsletter for a radish dish so I tried it thinking that maybe cooking them might take away whatever it is that gives me problems. It worked and was tasty! It was also very easy to make. The kids didn’t like it so much but Nick and I enjoyed it along with a little bit of garlic chicken, fresh fruit and a salad from more fresh greens.

That sounds like a cool program. I wonder if there is anything like it in Columbus.
