Are you guys happy with the value of your CSA boxes?
there is a CSA here that you can buy weekly, no commitment and I was never happy with it. There was always a lot of something I would never use and things did not last all week and half ended up in the compost I guess YMMV depending on where you live and the farm and what they grow, but it was not for us.
This was also my experience, though I'm glad I did it because I learned to love some new veggies and ways to cook things I'd already had before. Now I just go to the farmers' markets.
We're seeing the same thing here, but, we don't have many options just yet. We tried one and it was laughable. $35 for for maybe $20 worth of stuff.. and I'm talking like a Whole Foods $20.00.
through the whole season, or did you give up? CSA boxes will come in under value at the beginning and end of the season but over-value during the peak of productivity, typically.
I spent a year trying every vegetable in Wegmans, which has a very extensive produce selection. I think I tried pretty much everything they had at the time. It was fun I got a free trial of an organic home delivery service and half the stuff was rotten. I did not complain only because i got it for free.
I will be in Ithaca where there is a wegman's next week! Can't wait to get there!
i do not see the chocolate one, it may have been from a cookbook, will look, but maybe i made this recipe into a loaf? i have made thesehttp://happyherbivore.com/recipe/chocolate-zucchini-muffins/
Enjoy! Is it a newer one? I have a love/hate relationship with Wegmans. If you will be in Hector, our cousins own an amazing restaurant.
Weird. Was the oil rancid? Maybe just a bad zucchini?
<squash recipe that Paula Dean would surely endorse>
I bet a few bites of that would taste mighty fine. But holy moly, I felt my arteries clogging just reading about it. You must have one hella fat burning metabolism. Lucky girl.
Meh. I love butter. And compared to 2.5 pounds of cheese in my Mac and cheese recipe, saving a half stick of butter seems irrelevant.These are pretty much specialty foods I bring to cookouts anyway.Not that I don't love to cook my spinach in butter too though...and that's frequent.
