This week’s box:

• kale
• bok choy
• arugula
• 3 peaches
• 1 pepper
• 2 ears of corn
• 3 squash
• herbs
• 4 squash blossoms
• 3 persimmons
• 1 pumpkin

I didn’t get any a la carte items this week, but I’ve still got a few of those peppers from last week.

The total was the cost of the box, $25.

Meal plan:

• Monday: We ended up having a few family dinners pop up on us last week, so we’re actually having the eggplant mini pizzas + arugula salad tonight.
• Tuesday: stir fry with chicken, bok choy, peppers, and kale (and the herbs)
• Wednesday: leftovers
• Thursday: roasted corn, squash, and pumpkin over rice
• Friday: wine and cheese

I’m slicing the peaches and eating those with cottage cheese for breakfast. The persimmons aren’t nearly ripe yet, but I think they’ll be part of breakfast next week (or maybe I’ll get really wild and find a dessert recipe for them).

I have no idea what to do with the squash blossoms yet. Any suggestions? Evidently, they don’t last long, so I might be having them for lunch!

I’m still saving the sweet potatoes and navy beans from last week in hopes that we’ll have soup weather soon. Wishful thinking, no doubt.

Anything delicious going on in your neck of the woods?
