Week 2 of CSA Delivery

My family and I joined a CSA in Caledon Ontario.  The Whole Village CSA.

About 20 years ago I discovered the CSA concept through a TV documentary focusing on Goderich Ontario.  I was thrilled to discover a CSA concept here in Caledon, Ontario.

I was so excited!  Pay a sum of money up front and then enjoy fresh, organic veggies every week until October. Last week we received our first allotment and I brought home our veggies.
I immediately had to look up ideas on the Internet for recipes.  What to do with....the whole vegetable.  I did not want to waste even the tops.

What are Beet tops?  Turns out - that when you plant beets - you plant a lot of them - not knowing which seeds will take... as they grow you need to thin them out - VOILA - Beet tops... with tiny little beets attached.....  You can serve them up just like Rapini.  
Carrot Tops have antibacterial properties, and can be used to chew on to heal mouth sores... (GO Figure)

You can also fine chop them and add them to an omelet. 

So each week - I am going to post recipes for what we get - and what we do with the produce to document that it can be done!
