Last week was the Fourth of July, so I got a little lazy and didn't post; I'm catching up now. In our fourth CSA box, we got: 1 bunch baby carrots, 1 bunch beets (3 last week, 4 this week), 2 pints strawberries (they say this is the last week for these), 1 lb snap peas, 1/4 lb snow peas, 2 head spinach, 2 lettuce, 1 bunch garlic scapes, 1 bunch kale, 1 bunch green onions, 1 bunch dill. Terrible photo, I know; took it with my tablet. Won't make that mistake again.
Beautiful veggies and fruit!
I didn't meal plan, but made a few notes for a Real Food Facebook group I'm a part of:
Maybe I saute those baby carrots and toss with some chopped dill (didn't do that). And then maybe make a marinated veg salad with dill and snow peas among other veggies (didn't do this).
I'll also do garlic scape and spinach pesto pasta salad with snap peas. (I did make this and brought to share at a Fourth of July dinner, and then continued eating all week! We used some pesto on BLTs, and I still have some leftover!)
Homemade Michoacan style carnitas tacos with kale, sweet corn, and green onion slaw. (This was awesome! I'll definitely post about how to make this recipe that Jeremy perfected.)
Several salads with all the lettuce; probably use up the green onion that way and use the beets in the salad, too; some raw and grated, some roasted, cooked, cubed. (Made a salad of arugula from our garden, roasted beets, chevre; had a few other simple salads, but still have a couple beets and green onions leftover).
We ate those delicious strawberries and snow peas out of hand.

I ended up making those carrots as honey-ginger sauteed carrots, which were delicious. Had those with some hake grilled and slapped with a little dill at the end (PomPom did not enjoy the dill, she usually loves fish!). Enjoyed the beet and arugula salad with this meal.
Wow, was that a disorganized holiday week. Can't do that again. The mixing of tenses in blog posts is kind of distasteful to me (haha), but the quantity of the produce in our box will gradually ramp up and I can't have leftovers from the previous week!
