This week’s CSA Box and Menu

I didn’t take a photo this week because I put the veggies away already, and I was SO tired last night.  K’s teeth, or the itchy patches on her arm that I think might be eczama woke her up a lot.

DH is taking some of the night shifts, so we know that next week when I have to ‘pump and dump’  after the surgery, that we already know how to get her back to crib without nursing her.

We had:
One nappa cabbage (Mom took that one for an Asian salad for Sunday)
one small green cabbage
red lettuce head
romaine lettuce head
fresh peas
cucumbers
zuchini
yellow summer squash
rhubarb
brocholi

This after noon my in-laws are coming, Mom G mentioned a rhubarb muffin recipe she wants to try.

With the outer leaves of last week’s cabbage, I attempted to re-visit a hated recipe of my childhood, cabbage leaves stuffed with hamburger and rice with a tomato sauce.  I put the canned diced tomato inside with the rice and meat, I steamed the bundles in canned beef broth.  Those who didn’t like the dish to begin with (Me and the boys) didn’t find it improved by the beef broth.  Those who did like it to begin with, (My mom and DH) missed the tomato sauce.  We have lots of leftovers.  Not all iterations are improvements.

tofu stir fry with peas and squash
stuffed zuchini with beans and potato would work – I need to do more recipe scrounging.
