Today, the kickoff of my “grocery Challenge” I get stuck with an entire extra CSA box…figures. I’ve been delivering to a gal for the entire summer…ALL summer and never, ever has she just not been there, not called, nothing. So instead of $20, I am paying $45 this week out of the budget for our CSA (not complaining, I got a TON of food for$45, but I didn’t have the time budgeted to prepare it. Good thing I’m not used to a cookie-cutter day 
So here is what was in one box, so I got double of this:
- 1 acorn squash
- 2 butternut squash
- 2 spaghetti squash (need recipe, anyone have one?)
- 1 pie pumpkin
- 6 tomatoes
- 3 onions
- 8 peppers (2 red, 2 yellow, 4 green)
- 1 cauliflour
- 1 cabbage
- 8 red apples
- 4 yellow apples
Quite a stash to get double of isn’t it. 16 peppers, 24 apples on top of what our tree is giving us, 12 tomatoes!!!! My counters are piled high with peppers and tomatoes and the squash and pumpkins need a home in the basement corner. I can not believe it is that time already for wrapping and storing squash. And cabbage, I’m planning on two jars of sauerkraut, but I still have a head left from last week…what to do with all that cabbage? It’s a healthy abundance I’ll enjoy preserving and serving fresh. I’m thinking I need to start freezing some onions and peppers for use in winter soups and stews.
Sounds like you have some great produce there to turn into healthy and hearty autumn meals.
