Highlights from CSA season 2012

Pad Thai Salad ... YUM! by Sarah Henning
Well, the CSA season is over for another year, folks.
I kind of can’t believe it. Because my CSA season (and hopefully yours, too) is 26 weeks. That’s half a year. Meaning half of 2012 was filled with delicious, local veggies, picked up once a week like some sort of mineral-filled Christmas present.
In celebration of a good season (and in mourning of its end), I’ve compiled the best of the best from my CSA experience this spring, summer and fall. I hope you all got a chance to make some of the recipes, and if you haven’t, that you give them a try. There were definitely some good eats this year that will be added to my menu, despite my rut-loving tendencies.
So, without further ado, my favorites of CSA season 2012:
New favorites, still easy to do in winter:
-Napa cabbage salad with sweet and spicy vinaigrette
-A new (tropical) way to do sweet potatoes
-Bok choy and chard with red onion and sesame seeds
-The perfect sweet potato burger

Recipes to save for next summer (or brave out of season):
