Summer meals at home with local ingredients... wouldn't have it any other way!

Summer is definitely here and our CSA boxes are overflowing!  I'm pretty proud of us - keeping up with all of the fresh veggies and finding delicious ways to eat them up!  I am so happy we decided to do CSA's finally - I can't see us going back to our grocery store shopping ways.  We have gotten used to getting our weekly CSA box, stopping at the local market for other fresh food to compliment our CSA boxes, and only using grocery chains for certain toiletry items or specialty cooking items.  Here are some pics of some of the meals we've been eating.  I find I'm always wanting to snap a pick of my plate before I gobble it up just to show you.  Blogs are a great way to let you gloat about yourself... haha

Stir Fry! A classic in our house, weekly! This one features lots of greens, carrots, peas, peppers, and zucchini. Over jasmine rice.

Garlic Scape Pesto with Penne, roasted peas and grape tomatoes, and fresh green onion.

Dairy-free Hodge Podge Soup - featuring new potatoes, carrots, kale, yellow beans, peas in a almond milk/chicken broth, thyme and garlic broth.

Portobello Mushroom Ravioli! Sooooooo good. Mushrooms were sauteed with garlic and green onion, then wrapped around home-made whole wheat pasta with a Tomato Basil Pesto Sauce.

Stir Fry in sections - long grain white & wild mixed rice, scrambled farm fresh eggs, with sautéed swiss chard, kale, zucchini, bok choy, and yellow beans with a spicy honey lime sauce.
