I always wanted to try CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) – just waiting for a good deal. Finally, a livingsocial deal<\/a> came up! The best part is it is from Tiny’s Organic ( a farm booth I frequent at the Farmer’s Market) and BH’s office is one of the collection points! there is also an additional 20% discount code which can be applied to the deal! Things can’t get any better!! \ud83d\ude00 We paid $25 for 2 boxes<\/p>\n

The most exciting part about the CSA box is you don’t know what you are getting every week. I enjoy receiving a mystery box – gives me a chance to try new healthy food and cook new recipes!<\/p>\n

My first box: 2 October 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"box1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The box contains tomatillo, tomatoes, carrots, fennel, apples, nectarine, prunes. Large box is supposed to feed a family of 3 but it’s just right for us \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have never worked with tomatillo! I spent ALOT of time looking for recipes to include this ingredient. BH and I are not chips&dip people so I was reluctant to make salsa. However, I gave in and made Fresh Tomatillo Salsa<\/a> in the end. Sorry, no pics for this one \ud83d\ude41 I used the salsa for baking salmon and it tasted really good actually!<\/p>\n

Next, I have never worked with Fennel too!<\/p>\n

After some research, I followed this recipe <\/a>\ud83d\ude42 Turns out to be pretty tasty!<\/p>\n

\"fennel\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the tomatoes, I used them for Tomatoes Eggs <\/a><\/p>\n

My second box: 9 October 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"box2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This time the box contains apples, nectarines, prunes, huge heirloom tomatoes, kale and 2 acorn squash<\/p>\n

haha.. I have not done anything exciting for this box yet but I plan to make the following:
\n1) Acorn Squash bread<\/a>
\n2) Kale pasta salad
\n3) Tomato eggs ( Gosh.. we are eating tomatoes nearly every day now!)
\n4) Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes with Fresh Mozzarella<\/a><\/p>\n

I really enjoy my CSA experience but decided to stop after these 2 boxes because it is quite costly with any vouchers. Hard to say goodbye and I hope another deal comes soon!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
