We were pretty lazy about cooking this weekend but did make the thai basil corn dip recipe we wrote about in an earlier post to bring over to a friend's house saturday night with the corn we got from the CSA. For breakfast saturday we roasted some potatoes, zucchini, onions and green pepper that we cut up into small pieces (usually just cook this up in a pan like hash browns but it was overflowing so I moved it to a baking sheet) and ate that with some bacon we bought at Del Ray Farmer's market (from Smith Meadow Farms, the zucchini and green pepper were from farmer's market, too.) The leftovers made a nice filling for a quesadilla snack later on that day. We chopped up some CSA tomatoes for a tasty salsa topping.
We'd love to post other people's recipes or ideas for good weekend meals!
Recipes and ideas to utilize the weekly bounty of vegetables from our local CSA and farmer's markets.
Welcome
2011 starts the seventh year that we have been members of a CSA. Community Supported Agriculture allows people to buy a share in a local farm. We get our share from Potomac Vegetable Farm (PVF) which runs from June through early November. We also support our local Farmers market in Del Ray which now runs year round, with only a handful of vendors braving the winter months, and occasionally visit the Dupont Farmers market. In 2008 we started ordering meat and other local products from Mount Vernon Farm a local farm buyers club located in Rappahannock, VA.
Cooking seasonally has been rewarding and challenging. We have been introduced to all kinds of new vegetables. Part of the challenge is to find ways to cook all the foods that are delivered each week. We have created this blog to share our successes and failures with cooking locally and hope that you will share yours too.

Corn dip - sounds tasty. We've now got cherry tomatoes (and peppers) - soon to be overflowing from our pots on the deck (the garden failed but those are doing really well) so I need to look back and see if you've written about using those:-)!
