The Veggie Blues

Johnson's Backyard Garden CSA vegetables for the week of Feb. 14th

We’re picking up our CSA box from Johnson’s Backyard Garden tomorrow. It’ll be our first produce box since January, and we’re excited to fill our fridge with fresh veggies again. We went to farm website to catch a “sneak peek” of what we’ll be receiving in our box. We’ve definitely got the brussels sprouts down (a little garlic and balsamic can help anything!), the citrus will be juiced the moment it gets in the door, and of course, the spinach and scallions are pretty standard, but what about those root veggies? Last month we made beet soup that lasted longer than either of us care to admit, and as my grandfather Jim once observed, too much carrot juice can give the impression that one is suffering from jaundice. We welcome any new and fascinating recipes from our friends and family that will hopefully inspire us to enjoy winter vegetables once again.
