Our half share of the 3rd CSA from our neighbor was a lovely assortment.
Swiss chard, white radishes, green leaf lettuce, carrots, mesclun mix, spinach, cucumber, basil and ….
What I thought was parsley.
But turned out to be chervil. If nothing else, I’m learning a lot about green things this summer.
With those fresh ingredients, it was spinach salad with apples, radish, mushroom and purple onion for dinner.
Yes, I like a little parm on top as well.
A bright berry mixed green salad was dinner the next night.
Week 4 saw the family we split with out of town, so we received the entire share.
And that’s a big bag of veg.
Zucchini, turnip, cucumber, mustard greens, parsley, carrots, mesclun mix, parsnip, spinach, lemon basil, butterhead lettuce and cilantro.
Not being fennel fans, we passed that and the dreaded cilantro off to a friend.
But ooh la la!
Fresh aromatic lemon basil meant from scratch marinade…
For delicious grilled chicken breasts that night.
Recipe below if anyone is interested.

This is the first time we’ve ever done it.
It’s like vegetable Christmas every week.

I love fennel, in salads raw, it’s wonderful. Good to know I’m not the only one that gags at the sight/smell of cilantro, lol.

Cilantro is why I usually avoid Mexican restaurants, they love the stuff.

What a shame there’s no kale in there, huh?
Not only are your outdoor plants the same as ours…your counter top could also be a dead ringer for the one we’ve got.

There was kale 2 weeks ago and once is more than enough. 🤢
Our plants are the same?
Our countertops are the same?
Are you living in our basement and coming up when we’re asleep?

First, both Veggie Bounties are gorgeous…
Second, the recipe looks yummers…
Third, I’m stealing the “parmesan” meme. It simply must be done…

At this point in my life, you could probably cover a brick in Parmesan and I’d eat it.
