This box was a doozy! There was a huuuuuuuge watermelon hiding in the bottom. Of course, it was filled with all types of delici-osity (Is that a realword? It is now!). If you missed our past pickups, you can read about them HERE. This week we received:

Peaches Sustainable
Plums Sustainable
Donut Peaches Sustainable
Watermelon Sustainable
Swiss Chard Sustainable
Cubanelle and Bell Peppers Sustainable
Summer Squash Sustainable
Cucumbers Sustainable
Beefsteak and Plum Tomatoes Sustainable
Apples (Sansa/Red Free) Sustainable
Beets Certified Organic
Red Onions Sustainable
Leeks Sustainable
Kohlrabi Sustainable
Beans Sustainable
Sweet Corn Sustainable

Here's the plan:

Peaches, Plums, Apples, Cucumbers- Snacks
Beefsteak and Plum Tomatoes- I used to make this Chicken recipe all the time. I think I have to resurrect it.
Watermelon- I am the weirdo that doesn't really like watermelon. I will slice some up for John and the girls, though. Jemma started asking for Watermelon juice the minute she saw it, so I guess that is what the rest will become. It is super simple... just watermelon flesh in the blender. Shake before serving if you are saving it for later!
Beans- Green Bean and Shrimp Stir-Fry Rice
Beets- Macaroni Monday! This sauce sounds SO. GOOD. I cannot wait to try it.
Swiss Chard- The chard fritters were a hit, so I may just make them again. If I change up the seasonings, no one will know, right? Okay, okay, I'll sub the kale for chard on the chicken recipe.
Peppers- Roasted, fried, lactofermented... no idea. Maybe just snacked on.
Summer Squash- Tater tots!
Corn- On the side for Burger Night!
Red Onions- Added to the pantry stash... unless they get cooked up to go on the burgers Saturday...
Leeks- Used as onions in the pantry stash
Kohlrabi- Oh no! We ate all the dill! No more dilly kohlrabi!
