I love sharing recipes!! My family and I bring our favorite new recipes to our family get togethers and swap them. I started this blog to to do just that, share the recipes I have discovered and also to document my experiences with being a new mom... well the new mom thing has sort of kept me away from writing. Sooo here is my pledge to you to start writing at least once a week!!!!
So here is my post for this week...
Our CSA is coming to an end :( We have really enjoyed going to Broadturn Farm every week and picking up our hearty portion of their of veggies, herbs and sometimes fruit. Last week we got some really tasty things and Nick made a fantastic soup... here is the recipe. (All Veggies are from our farmshare at Broadturn Farm)
Nicks Fennel/Kale/Sausage soup
6 Cups Chix Stock
1 LG fennel
2 Cups carrots
1 Lg onion
1 Bundle of Kale
3/4 lb. Hot sausage
Salt and Pepper
Basil and Parsely
Cook sausage in one pan, Saute all veggies in another pan with a dash of olive oil until mostly cooked. Add sausage to veggies, add Stock and seasonings. Simmer for 1 hour and enjoy!!!
My theory on soup is use what you have.. if you do not have carrots but you do have potato use that who cares!! The fennel in this recipe was wonderful so I do not recomend subbing anything in for that.
Our next CSA recipe is
Fried Green Tomatoes from simplyrecipes.com
3 medium, firm green tomatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
2/3 cup fine dry bread crumbs or cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 Cut unpeeled tomatoes into 1/2 inch slices. Sprinkle slices with salt and pepper. Let tomato slices stand for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place flour, milk, eggs, and bread crumbs in separate shallow dishes.
2 Heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil in a skillet on medium heat. Dip tomato slices in milk, then flour, then eggs, then bread crumbs. In the skillet, fry half of the coated tomato slices at a time, for 4-6 minutes on each side or until brown. As you cook the rest of the tomatoes, add olive oil as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper
I cannot wait to see what we get this week!!!!
Thanks for reading
