Green.

Everything will be vibrantly green this week. I already kicked it off with last week's garlic scapes, by canning some garlic scape pesto (7 garlic scapes, handful of walnuts, 2 oz. of CSA cheese, about 1 cup of EVOO, salt and pepper). Shrimp, garlic scape pesto, and whole wheat pasta is pretty addictive—which is the reason why my lunch today was sans shrimp. Can't wait to defrost some more shrimp and start dipping.  
 
PLG CSA Week 5 
Lettuce Heads 
Salad Greens 
Peas 
Scallions 
Kale 
Swiss Chard 
Basil 
Turnips 
 
My plan for this week's share: kale chips, roasted turnips (with honey like my mama does), basil + pea pesto (not sure about this, maybe mint would be better), lots o' salad—hmm, maybe roasted turnips with salad greens, and pasta/cous cous/quinoa with swiss chard! Sounds like a plan. 
 
Photos of last week's meals to come later . . . been a little lazy about posting photos and recipes. My laptop is too old to be running more than one program at a time, which really puts a damper on uploading photos while watching Hulu—it's just not possible.
