This morning I cut into my first German butterball potatoes. Doesn’t that name just sound scrumptious? They are yet another new discovery from our CSA…and, yes, I live in the land of bread and honey…our CSA goes all year. If we ever move from California, I won’t know what to do with myself! Anyway, back to the potatoes. I was surprised how yellow the potatoes were inside. So fun!
Menu time! A few repeats from last week because things didn’t go quite as planned…
MONDAY:

TUESDAY:

I live in Wisconsin and have a CSA that runs all year, but we probably don’t get as much variety as CA would. Also in Colorado we had a CSA that ran all year – so if you do need to move out of CA, don’t worry there may be fresh local food.
