what's cooking? CSA week 4

So this week was our 4th week of the CSA and the first week I was home for it! Over the past few weeks it's included: lettuce, onions, pinto beans, arugula (plant), calendula (plant), rhubarb, and some other stuff.

This week we received:

• 2 heads of leaf lettuce
• snap peas
• green cabbage
• beets
• onions
• cilantro (plants)
• strawberries

Since I was away I'm trying to catch up now and cook it all before next week's box arrives on Tuesday.

What's cooking you ask?

• Leaf Lettuce- I'm using for salads
• Snap Peas- I love to just snack on them
• Cabbage- I'm making one batch of my GG's coleslaw and another batch of it sauteed in butter and salt (recipe from the farmer)
• Beets- roasting with some carrots and oil, salt, and pepper
• Cilantro- planted the plant in our garden for now
• Strawberries- dave ate them before I got home or they would've went bad. He did buy me 4 lbs at Costco though
• Rhubarb (I froze it the first week)- I made a delicious variation of Martha Stewart's rhubarb crisp. I didn't have oatmeal (I realized in the middle of the recipe) so I used Bob's Red Mill Museli mix and it gives it a great flavor. I also changed it by using wheat flour and only half the rhubarb (1 lb instead of 2) because that's all I had. I LOVE rhubarb- it's so sour and sweet. I'm definitely in the camp of rhubarb without strawberries- it doesn't need them!

I'm looking forward to next week's Harvest Box (arrives on Tuesday) because this week I'll have the whole week to cook with it!
