 We have been enjoying the fresh organic fruits this summer, especially the local blueberries, peaches, and melons. Thank you Mirit.

 We all have the same question.
How do I store the different vegetables or fruits from this weeks Harvest?
Often just putting them in the refrigerator accelerates the problem and they dry out. But we all try to make our fresh organic fruits and vegetables remain that way as long as we can. During Harvest Day we have learned that green leafy plants love to be stored in wet towels with flake ice on top of them, [...]
 Summary: Grilling brings out the natural flavor and sweetness of zucchini, yellow squash, red bell pepper, eggplant and onion in these savory tostadas. Grill whole wheat tortillas for a crispy base and top with fresh salsa, sliced avocado and a squeeze of lime.
Ingredients

 Summary: If you didn’t know that this was baked instead of fried, you’d never know the difference. By not deep frying the eggplant, which is traditional and soaks up incredible amounts of oil, you decrease calories and fat. Similar to traditional eggplant parmesan, this dish comes out just as bubbly and filled with rich real Italian flavor. Serve with a light organic green salad and don’t forget glass of organic red wine.
Ingredients
2 organic free [...]

interested stir fry Chinese food, which she loves, but ate two bowls of salad (red leaf lettuce from share and tons of avocados from share).
She then said, “Daddy, lets have corn and chard soup tomorrow”. I had never done it, but we gave it a go. I used chicken broth as
a base, but certainly vegetable [...]
 A few weeks ago I rendered all of my zucchinis’ nutritional value null by breading it and frying it to death in a vat of oil. The kids loved it. This time I added a little of the unhealthy, while preserving some of the zucchini’s original values. From a suggestion on Facebook, following my last post, I cut the zucchini’s length wise like steak fries. I dipped them in egg and [...]
