The Bounty of Spring

I’m loving our weekly baskets from Tecolote Farms! Less than 10 minutes ago this bounty showed up.  The baskets are getting heavier and full of dense bright greens and vegetables.  Have you ever seen the interesting root in the middle? It’s a Kohlrabi and Katie at the farm says to use it like broccoli stems.  I’m assuming by that she doesn’t mean toss it??!  So, perhaps a slaw? Or as a garnish to salads?  Please share your Kohlrabi ideas.

The leeks and beets are my favorite treasures this week.  I haven’t had time to wash or plan yet, but I’m thinking roasted beets with toasted walnuts and goat cheese on a fresh bed of spinach sounds divine.

But, first my morning chores include my very own Easter egg hunt.  The Littles were so thoughtful to leave hundreds of plastic eggs scattered throughout the cafe for me. I’m finding eggs and treasures hidden in the most peculiar places. And it is my personal goal to have all the Robin’s Eggs eaten tossed by sun down.
