Red beauties

I participate in a Community Supported Agriculture group that my friend Sasha clued me into.  I love the variety of the foods we get and also the fresh local tastes.  Each Wednesday we pick up our share at a drop off point and discover what we will be eating that week.  We participate from May though the end of the Summer crops.  Our CSA has three seasons: Spring, Summer, and Fall.  We have had to adjust our eating style a little bit to accommodate for the foods that come in the box and we never know what will show up in a box on any given week.  Both of these we count as positives and not negatives to participating in the CSA.  I highly recommend looking in to a program like this in your area.

Just look at these amazing tomatoes!  We had more than we could eat this week, so I decided to make some tomato sauce with them.  Into the freezer went the sauce and out came whatever we needed for the recipe of the night.
