Earlier in the summer, Zach and I decided to sign up with our local CSA for a summer farm share. We thought it would be great to have fresh produce every week, and I knew that I should branch out from my normal routine (aka, canned green beans as my go-to veggie for every meal). So far, so good with what we've gotten, and I thought I'd share some discoveries:
1) Beets are actually delicious. I was only familiar with canned beets prior to this summer, and always hated how the juice would leak into my other food or even the taste. Roasting beets makes them pretty mild, and when you put them in foil packets, clean up is easy (I've roasted them on the grill and in the oven, both methods work great). You can also apparently do things with the beet greens, which I haven't tried, but am considering using this recipe (care of Martha):

3) Baba ganoush is trickier than I thought it would be. First off, what the heck is tahini anyway? I had an eggplant, and thought a little dip would be good. I didn't have all the ingredients for baba ganoush, so I went with a roasted eggplant dip. It was a little meh. Since I love dip I ate it all, but I don't think I'd make it again, or if I did, I would add cheese. Cheese makes everything tastier.
