Our Fresh Fork CSA Summer Share (technically for summer and fall) ended a few weeks ago.

Whew! Finally done!

Initially I was filled with anticipation for the end of our Fresh Fork CSA share. But now that it is over, I’m feeling a little lost. I actually have to buy vegetables at the store now. I plan on solidifying my overall thoughts on the

I’m definitely continuing to feel the effects of CSA exhaustion!

I have not been doing very good at deciding what I’m going to cook or how I’m going to store the vegetables before they arrive. Instead I have been finding myself dreading the weeknight cleaning, cutting and storing

 Is it just me or is this CSA lasting forever?!

When I said I would blog weekly about the summer CSA I meant it. I thought it would be easy to do but instead I’ve been doubling up posts and wondering when this thing will end!

Before diving into this week’s share, let’s back track a bit to last week.

The fresh vegetables continue to roll in.

Last week we gave excess to a family member who was more than eager to take not one but three eggplants off our hands! I braved new territory and used the fourth eggplant to make a simple stir fry. I forgot

I have no idea how I fell behind on not one or two, but four weeks of CSA share recaps!

Another two weeks of our CSA share have flow by!

Our last two weeks of shares have seemed a bit smaller than what we received at the start, however, I think we were told there would be an ebb and flow of produce during the growing season.
