Week #11 of my CSA share!!
We have a lot of variety this week. Our weather has been pretty dry here so our peppers are not as plump as they should be, but there is an abundance. Many of the bell peppers pictured here were not in my regular share. They are what are called seconds. Seconds are always freebies. Our farmer will send a crate or two of them and members are free to take as they please. :)

2 cantaloupe (1 is a second)

This is a summer favorite!! My husband said it tasted like pizza...I think he meant it had the flavor of pizza.
A good friend was cleaning out her garden before they left for vacation and gave us this box of green beans, squash and a green pepper .
Thank you!!
The green beans are delicious and you can see we put the rest to good use!
