One thing I love about my CSA

On: July 5, 2016July 9, 2016 By: Leslie Cook

I love having a box of fresh veggies, many things that I don’t ordinarily get, then trying things out with them. Sometimes combinations surprise me! – like this Stir Fry of chopped onion, Bok choy stems, salad radishes (that’s the Julienne veggie)

They’re smart, peaceful, and have a sense of humor. ... See MoreSee Less
