With CSA boxes arriving each week, we've been eating lots and lots of veggies around here! So far, we've had salad greens, beets and beet greens, spinach, swiss chard, kale, snap peas, blue potatoes, garlic and garlic scapes, radishes (we give all of those to Heidi), and cilantro. Kyle has tried everything and discovered that he really likes most of the veggies! That might not sound really impressive, but Kyle was only eating canned chicken soup and peanutbutter sandwiches when I met him. He had never even tasted fresh garlic!!!! Rowan really liked the blue potatoes, and he had a few bites of my beets.
We can't wait until we pick up our next box tomorrow! We'll get a box every week until the middle of October. If you've got favorite healthy veggies recipes, send them my way!

Here is my favorite snack....
Garlic Butter and Crackers
Take a whole garlic bulb and peel the outer shell off. Grab a fork and stab the top of the bulb making sure to get holes into each clove. Set the clove onto some tinfoil and pour olive oil over top the bulb. Wrap up the clove like a hershey kiss so you can open it up easiul and bake at 350 for 1 hour. After 1 hour take it out and stick a knife into one of the cloves, if it feels hard bake for an additional 15 minutes until they are more soft.
Once its done baking take out your bulb and grab your favorite crackers- mine are the new multi-grain Club crackers- and grab a knife. Stick your knife down into one of the cloves and dig out the inside and spread it over your cracker.....TADA!!! You've got a very healthy snack for the body....nautral garlic and olive oil!! YUMMY!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
