Another week of CSA

Picked up our fifth box (I think) yesterday at the Farmer's Market and got a bunch of good stuff.

Did I ever say which CSA we do? It's Whitewater Gardens. I picked them because a) my friend Linda is a member and highly recommended it, and b) they let you substitute/swap out things in your box if you don't like/want it.

I took advantage of the swapping this week because one of the items was kale, and well... I have never eaten kale and I just don't have the energy to figure out what to do with it right now. Maybe next week... (Any suggestions?)

I made a slam-dunk meal tonight with three items (garlic, sugar snap peas, and carrots) from this week's box:

Orange Beef Stir-Fry Recipe | Taste of Home Recipes

It was delicious and my two youngins, who hardly ever eat vegetables, gobbled it up!! Luke ate THREE servings! What more can a mother desire than seeing her children chomping on pea pods and carrots? Awesome!!!

I do want to make a couple suggestions regarding this recipe:

1) I didn't use a frozen vegetable blend, obviously. I used fresh sugar snap peas/pods, carrots, and sliced mushrooms. I stir-fried the peas and carrots first, and then I added the mushrooms toward the end.

2) Next time I am going to double the sauce. I thickened up very nicely, but we prefer more sauce to drizzle over our rice.

Next up: We received red-skinned baby potatoes this week. Can't wait to eat those!
