Bring on the Veggies!

I took the kids to the farm today and picked up our first CSA (see prior blog) box! I must say the box was a lot smaller than I had expected, but I'm hoping that's just because it's early in the season. There wasn't a list of the contents included so I'm still not sure what one item is and it took a while to identify some of the others. In today's box was: carrots, potatoes, onions, red russian Kale, watercress, lettuce, spinach, and a mystery green item??
I made carrot cake/bread with the carrots and it turned out delicious! With the potatoes I made parmesean/rosemary encrusted potatoes which were also very good. Tomorrow for breakfast I'm going to make an egg bake using the kale and onions, the pics with the recipe look really good! For a side dish with dinner tomorrow I'll use the spinach to make creamed spinach...not too healthy but good! I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the watercress, I can't really find any recipes that sound good for that one.
I'm excited about eating more veggies and organic too!
