CSA harvest for July 7th

Here is the harvest yesterday. This is a photo taken from the Millsap blog, a full vegetable share:

1 zucchini, 1 cucumber, 1 yellow squash (also had melons), green beans, green onions, red and white onions, 6 red potatoes, garlic, tomato, purple kholrabi, lettuce, thai basil, swiss chard, broccoli and 6 ears of corn! Not to mention the bread, blueberries, cheese and eggs. I'm starting to really enjoy this Tuesday afternoon "shopping" at the farm!

Happy 4th of July!



Hope you all enjoy a weekend running through the sprinkler, or at the very least spending some quality time with family and friends in this great country of ours.

As for me? I'll be in my usual spot just waiting to see if any of you roll through the doors. Be safe!

Pizza, pizza and more pizza

So far this pregnancy I haven't had any dire cravings, except for sugar and pizza (not necessarily together). Thank heaven for Neighborhood Pizza down the road, and a husband who doesn't mind having pizza 1-2 times per week for MONTHS in a row :)

Surprisingly, I haven't made homemade pizza much due to the urgency of my cravings. Must eat pizza.....NOW!

But now that fresh basil and tomatoes are in abundance, its hard to deny the natural urge to make homemade pizza with the freshest ingredients.

Any natural urge that doesn't involve running to the bathroom is always welcome.

Sorry guys, but the ladies must know how I feel.



This was my attempt to make Uno's deep dish pizza (minus their famous sausage....sausage still creaps me out right now).

It rocked, but I'm not posting a recipe. It needs perfecting, and I'm waiting on a new website.

That's right, a NEW WEBSITE. New. Website. One that has archives.

Confession: I haven't archived any recipes in over a year. Why you ask?

BECAUSE I'VE BEEN WAITING ON MY NEW WEBSITE. And when it comes, prepare to be shocked with the amount of recipes we've showcased in nearly 3 years at foodierachel.

Adios! I'm going to on a walk and then to eat filet mignon. Gosh I love eating whatever the "baby" wants. I hope all of you someday get the opportunity to blame all your bad eating habits on a baby, it truly is amazing.
