My Farm Share Week 6 Wrap-Up
Good Morning Provence! Actually, I’m still in NYC but I feel as though I’ve been in Provence this week with my awesome farm share! This has been my favorite box since we’ve started receiving our weekly deliveries. This week I made a deliciously cheesy potato and fennel gratin. I LOVE gratins and my husband and [...]

My Farm Share Week 6
Woo hoo! It’s Farm Share Wednesday! This week’s box is awesome… I feel like I’ve been transported to Provence with all the fennel, eggplants, fava beans, green beans and zucchini. We also received some of our favorite cucumbers and mixed baby greens. I’m surprised that the baby greens are doing so well with all this [...]

My Farm Share Week 5 Comes to a Delicious End
I have to say, working with a humongous box of vegetables for 1.33 people (remember, my husband does not fancy vegetables – yet) really makes the week fly by. I’ve also noticed that we are ordering less take-out and going out to eat less often since we know we have all of these vegetables to [...]

My Farm Share Week 5
Good Morning Friends! It’s Farm Share Wednesday and we’ve got a really colorful bunch today. I was so excited to see so many colors when I opened this week’s box. Don’t get me wrong, green is gorgeous, but it is so nice to see some yellows and orange! And this week’s variety is really great… [...]

My Farm Share Week 4 in Review
Let’s see… I made some predictions last week as to what would become of these vegetables. Well, some happened and some did not. I did not make the corned beef and cabbage as corned beef was not available at the market (go figure) and I did not have 3 weeks to brine my own. So, [...]

My Farm Share Week 4
Good Morning! It’s Farm Share Wednesday! Today’s delivery has a lot of really nice variety including some familiar standards. This week we will be working with red leaf lettuce, scallions, garlic scapes, a small white cabbage, mixed baby greens, baby red onions, baby carrots and Kirby cucumbers. Preliminarily, I’m thinking corned beef and cabbage (did [...]

My Farm Share Week 3 Summary
My Farm Share Week 3 came and went like a blur. We were barely home this week thanks to the long July 4th weekend so we had to really be diligent in getting our veggies eaten. Here’s how we did it: The Napa cabbage became a delicious slaw of thinly sliced Napa cabbage, shredded carrots, [...]

My Farm Share Week 3
We learned something interesting this morning. Our Farm Share gets delivered to our apartment building at 1:30AM! Thankfully our doorman does not wake us up for it; we just call down when we wake up. The bad thing about this is the fact that some of these delicate vegetables begin to look a little limp [...]

My Farm Share Week 2 Wrap-Up
Another week of fresh, local organic vegetables has flown by. Here’s what was cooking (or not) in the Chin household… The Napa cabbage became pork pot stickers served with my favorite dumpling sauce (soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and sesame oil); the scallions were in everything from the afore mentioned pot stickers to tangy buttermilk-scallion [...]
