ok, so i missed week 8 of our half share from wholesome harvest csa, but instead of catching up with that one, i’ll just skip right on to what we received this week.
i have to admit, i was pretty pumped when i opened our box!
we got:
- tomatoes
- yellow beans
- lettuce mix
- green bell peppers
- purple bell pepper
- banana pepper
- carrots
- red onions
- chioggia beets
- a baby melon (!!!)
i’ve been craving stuffed peppers, so those will definitely be on the menu this week (using the peppers, tomatoes, onions). i love dipping carrots in hummus, so those will be eaten that way. lettuce mix = salads. duh. and baby melon = snack time. so the mystery for this week will be how to use the beets. i might juice them!
another great week of csa veggies! 
………………………
i had a rough day yesterday. nothing major went wrong, just a couple of little things disappointed me & then it was like everything was going wrong. it was hard to see the positive things after a while. blah.
but today is a new day, so my plan is to shake off that funk & get back to my normal happy ways!
have a great day!

I hope you do have a better day today! Unfortunately the weather won’t make it easy (unless you like cooler, rainy days).
We have been getting lots of beets in our CSA also, and I have been juicing mine with watermelon; I added a green apple this morning. Delicious!

Shake it like a Polaroid picture.
Make some beet soup in your new house! 
Juice them or roast them! So so good roasted. And now I want beets…
