This week's CSA haul:
Arugala
Spaghetti squash
Green tomatoes
Anaheim chiles
Melon
Swiss chard
Okra
I feel like I didn't do quite as well with my recipes this week--in part because I had a few more new (to me) veggies, but also because I was sick for a few days, and out of town for the weekend... But still, not too shabby!
Last time I was in Denver, my Aunt and Uncle made some fantastic homemade chile rellenos. Only they weren't the kind I had seen before. They wrapped theirs in egg roll wrappers instead of batter--and they were great! Perhaps not traditional anywhere but Denver, but they sure are easy to make and very tasty.
Definitely the best of the swiss chard usage to date! I keep making things in muffin tins and freezing them for later (they're easier to thaw in portion sizes that way). I feel a bit like an astronaut eating all these complete meals with the same shape.
Indian-style fried okra. This was pretty good, but would have been much better if I had a whole spread of Indian food to accompany it.
My first spaghetti squash! At first I wasn't too sure about it, but it has grown on me. I added way more spices, some cinnamon, toasted almonds, caramelized onions, and raisins. Not bad!

Next time you're in Denver give me a call and we'll hang out.
Yum! You inspired me to be a bit more creative last week with my cooking.
I love Spagetthi squash. I think it is a great alternative when you have an overload of spaghetti sauce!
What a great idea, baking things in muffin tins for easy thawing! Everything looks so yummy, as usual. And how cool you got a melon this late in the year...I thought all the fall melons came from Mexico.
