WHAT'S COOKIN'?

• Kale Chips – a household favorite and one of the most mentioned recipes from the book
• Colorful Chinese Kick-Slaw from Fast, Fresh & Green – I mentioned this book last week, but it bears repeating: fabulous book for creative and delicious vegetable recipes
• Warm Kohlrabi and Smoked Sausage from Greene on Greens – another invaluable resource for shareholders. It’s out of print, but fairly easy to find used on Amazon. If I were stranded on a desert CSA island, this is the book I’d want with me!

Chard, Leaf Lettuce, Head Lettuce, Beets, Kohlrabi, Red New Potatoes, Cucumber, Zucchini, Snow Peas, Broccoli, Kale

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

• My new favorite potato salad– Warm Potato Salad with Goat Cheese – a non-mayo-based salad, great flavor and a huge crowd pleaser
• Grilled zucchini tossed with a little sherry vinegar, olive oil, finely minced mint, chopped Marcona almonds and crumbled feta cheese; season to taste with salt and fresh black pepper. Serve warm or at room temp.
• One-Skillet Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli – only this time I’m skipping the chicken and doubling up on the broccoli.
• Stir-Fried Swiss Chard with Pine Nuts and Balsamic Butter from this book – great recipe; great book. Highly recommend both!

WHAT'S COOKIN'?

• Roasted Beets with Avocado – inspired by my friend Christine’s visit to Chez Panisse, a simple salad of roasted beets, sliced avocado, a squeeze of lemon, a drizzle of good olive oil, salt, pepper... delicious!
• “Mostly Plants” Breakfast Squares – I think this one is going to be on permanent rotation for the duration of the summer.
• Lettuce Soup – I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m intrigued.
• And I need to find a good coleslaw recipe that uses Kohlrabi and Cabbage for tomorrow’s BBQ.
