Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to our new recipe blog from Chubby Bunny Farm, sometimes affectionately called, "the bunny".
Since this is a new addition to our cyberlife there may be a few changes in the next few weeks as we play around with it a little. Basically this is the place where we tell you what's on our dinner table and how we prepare the veg that are in the weekly CSA share. So with out further adieu, let's go!

Radish, Avocado and Orange Salad

I know this isn't exactly local for us here in the Northeast but lately we really can't get enough avocados. And honestly now that we are starting to see strawberries and rhubarb coming in (sadly we don't grow rhubarb) it is just about time to say goodbye to oranges. But this is so tasty I'm including it.

1 bunch radishes, quartered
2 avocados, diced
1 - 2 oranges, sectioned and chopped
a few garlic scapes, finely chopped
a bunch of cilantro, chopped
as many chopped scallions as you like

Throw this in a bowl and toss with lime juice and olive oil, salt and pepper. Eat this by itself,  with greens, as a kind of salsa on baked fish....   Delicious!

Eggs and Greens

This is a favorite dish of ours - very delicious and great for any meal of the day.
1 bunch/bag of spinach/chard/kale etc.  Cooked lightly for spinach, a little bit more for chard and still more for kale.
So you're cooking greens in what ever method you prefer - steam, saute with onions or garlic, scallions or garlic scapes... you get the picture. Then crack a few eggs on top and cover until cooked. Another option is to separately poach an egg or two and pop them on top. Grate on some cheese of your choice, hot sauce, salsa, fresh herbs or whatever you like. Personally, I'm a sucker for a fantastic chutney.

As you can see the recipes posted here are not quite exact, rather ideas that can be stepping off points for your own desires. If you need a specific skill in the kitchen or precise amounts you can use a number of great website listed under the links.

Enjoy!
Tracy
