CSA: Week #10 Update – Final CSA Post

Though I am already well into the summer CSA program, I wanted to give my final update on the spring CSA. Week #10 featured corn, tomatoes, apples, and green beans. With houseguests visiting during part of that week, I was a little bit off my game in food preparation, but here’s how I made use of my week #10 basket.

Corn – Elote Skillet – I love elote (Mexican street corn), but with the super hot weather, I didn’t want to fire up the grill. I tracked down an elote skillet recipe, and it was AMAZING! I made the recipe on that Friday night and again that following Monday. We made use of all twelve ears of corn. Yes, I had given six to my parents, but they returned them for our guests to enjoy once we found this recipe. I didn’t request that they do that, but I was grateful nonetheless.

Tomatoes – BLTs – Bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwiches made it onto the menu. Of course, I also go low-carb and skip the bread.

Apples – Snacks – The apples are hanging out in our apple bowl with some Fuji apples. We are working through them slowly.

Green Beans – Freezer – I did not have immediate plans for the green beans, and I didn’t want them to go bad, so I rinsed and chopped them and put them into freezer bags. They are divided into easy dinner portions, so I can just grab them and cook them.

I failed to get a picture of the elote skillet, so this post shows the basket photo for week #10. I highly recommend the elote skillet recipe. It is easy and delicious!

Though it won’t be documented here, my CSA adventure continues through the next 9 weeks of the summer basket. I am making Indian eggplant bhurtha tonight! If you like tracking down new recipes and trying new-to-you fruits and vegetables, check out your local CSA options and sign up.
