So, this week I’m not going to do the typical “Here’s what I ate” and one recipe routine. It’s not that I’m feeling lazy after the long weekend, it’s just that we had so many great things with CSA ingredients last week.

Last week’s haul included grapes, basil, tomatoes, peppers, butternut squash, onion and a cucumber.

Lot’s of variety, right? Totally. Lots of possibilities and not enough room in a single blog. So, I’ll describe the week in pictures. Because, honestly, they’re probably more taste bud-satisfying than any words I’d type. If you want specific recipes, shoot me an email at sarah@lawrence.com and I’ll get them to you ASAP.

So, the second I took that picture of our entire week’s haul, a certain little monster stole some grapes so fast he’s a blur.

But he didn’t eat them all, so the next morning the rest went into the blender with strawberries and peaches from Hiawatha that we bought at the Lawrence Farmers’ Market. Smoothie time!

Next, I used some of my tomatoes in a veggie-heavy take on tabbouleh:

The peppers ended up both on a pepper-avocado-Dijon-hummus sandwich (bread from Wheatfields‘ and hummus from Mediterranean Market and Cafe) …

… And on a pizza made with the whole-wheat flour we received previously from our CSA. (That’s the kid holding up the peppers and some CSA onions, pre-chopping in the first photo).

The basil and cucumber made it into some more green juice and the squash went in the pantry for later use. All in all, a tasty week, for sure.

This week, we got quite the end-of-summer haul too: eggplant, tomatoes, squash, okra, cucumber, basil and melon.
