Weekly Veggies

June 12th, 2025 at 01:39 am

This is our third year to be a host site for the local CSA. We’ve been a customer for much longer.

Especially this year, with grocery prices up, I am appreciating the fresh local organic veggies. Since we’re the host, our weekly box is free. This week our haul includes gold potatoes, red chard, mini romaine, spring onions, strawberries, lacinato kale, garlic scapes, and Italian parsley.

I abhor waste so I attempt to get every bit of it into our bodies! Last year I spent time entering favorite recipes into my Recipe Keeper Pro app and it’s paying off now. I have over 500 recipes in there and I can easily search on certain ingredients or characteristics to find something appropriate. I set up categories like finger food, okay to make ahead, instant pot, crockpot, etc. I’ll continue to add our recipes as I have time but I’m at least to a point where I don’t have to ask myself “What will I do with chard?”. And every recipe is something healthy that has ingredients I would use. I used to search online and I had to go through so much to find something that I’d feel good about making. It took too long – every time.

That reminds me: two nights ago, I made the Asian meatballs recipe shared by Toilet Paper Tracker. Do you all remember that blogger? I always enjoyed her posts. I hope she’s doing well. Her recipe lives on in my collection!

    Today I checked out the little free pantry in our neighborhood and it was loaded with kale! I didn't take any, because I need to defrost my fridge and I'm trying to use up the perishables first.

    I do remember Toilet Paper Tracker! I hope she's doing well, too. Would you mind sharing the Asian meatballs recipe? It sounds good!

    I remember Toilet Paper Tracker too and hope she's doing well. I thought of her a while back...a grandson's girlfriend stayed with us overnight and we have these toilet paper holders that are on a stand. Very simple. It holds one roll to be pulled to use and the extras are on a little pole so you can just lift a new one and put it on the holder. Except she used the one on the holder which is just one sided so it slips off very easily, not like the tension springs we used to have years ago. She left the empty roll on the holder and just turned around the stand and tore paper off one of the rolls. I don't know if that was laziness or the fact she's never replaced toilet paper. I thought Toilet Paper Tracker would have gotten a kick out of it.
