Week 6: Getting into a Rut

Well, I can't lie: I'm getting a bit bummed about my produce bags. Maybe I'm just starting to get lazy, too. I think I'm also just too excited for later this summer when the tomatoes and cucumbers and zucchini start coming in. No matter, I'm disappointed in my bag this week. I found another kohlrabi, another bunch of green onions, another bunch of radishes, another bag of spinach, and another bunch of beets. I will say that I'm glad to see the spinach and the beets, although I have no plans for the latter. The green onions, radishes and kohlrabi, though, I'm getting a little tired of. While all are delicious, I really thought I'd be seeing more of a variety, but I suppose it's still early in the season.

All whining aside, I've been really happy with the flavors of all of produce I've received; I'm not sure I'll ever like grocery store produce again (sorry).

So for this week, I honestly don't have any amazing and profound ideas or recipes for my produce. I'm also not entirely sure when I'll be cooking this week: I've got a lot going on! Work tonight, book club tomorrow, my sister comes home from Africa Wednesday, grill out with friends Thursday, then good friends getting married this weekend and things to go to for that both Friday and Saturday. Oofta! I'll just have to find something fun and creative for Thursday.

If any one has any suggestions for ways to use my kohlrabi, please share! It's good raw, don't get me wrong, but I'd like to try it another way before I stop getting it.

Thanks for reading my whining. I'll be more positive next time, and I'll try to have a cool new recipe for you, too.

Have a delicious day!
