Locavore In Training

A terrible problem to have, I know...

Week 5, and these words make me want to cry:

5th CSA Share: Kohlrabi, Snow Peas and Carrots

Oh boy. I should also mention that the kohlrabi that I claimed would be consumed last night was, in fact, not. Not a sugar snap pea either. Let's just say, Jay had to work late last night, and he considered not having to eat more kohlrabi a fringe benefit.

Here's the rest of this week's share - I can't really explain how I ended up with something different than shown on the Clagett's list... but here's what I've got:

• Purple kohlrabi - the largest one I've ever seen. Weighs 4 lbs. Seriously.
• 2 lbs kale
• 1 onion
• 1 lb carrots
• 1 lb sugar snap peas
• 2 small zucchinis

That oughta do.

I mentioned before that I was making carrot cake muffins... Look, I'm calling them muffins because that means they're acceptable to eat for breakfast. Icing and all. They're made with local carrots and eggs, that means they are healthy. Don't judge.

I made these carrot cake cupcakes, following the recipe almost exactly (except for adding a bit more cinnamon because there can never be enough). They don't - in any way - look pretty like hers (or otherwise, really), but they're yummy.

Off to...

... stare at the produce hoping it'll inspire me (and fit in the fridge)

... make frozen pizza

... roast some sugar snap peas

... drink some beer
And, surely, there will also be cupcakes muffins consumed.
