CSA, Week 6, Weekend Eats, and "25, 25, 25"

This is one of my favorite times of the year. Fruits and vegetables are in abundance, and they are fresh, tasty, and available at all farm stands, farmers' markets, and gardens! Here are some of my fruit and vegetable highlights of the weekend. I'm sure I've met my quota of "5-9 servings or more" of F+Vs this weekend!

Saturday

After a 11.6 mile run, Tim and I prepared roasted beans (yellow, green AND purple!), beautiful fruit salad, and salad wraps.

Sunday

I made another fruit salad with cherries for brunch this morning. Cherries are delicious in a fruit salad, but the pitting part takes a little time.

After brunch I finished "Cooking For Mr. Latte", and found Spicy curled up by it later in the afternoon.

CSA goodies!

There's something so relaxing and pleasant about picking up fresh fruits and veggies from Stillman's Farm on a Sunday afternoon. Tim and I spent some time pulling weeds in the community garden, then made a beautiful salad with some of the day's pickings.

Here's what I picked from my community garden:

Here's the CSA loot:

And here's the beautiful salad that resulted!
