How to use your CSA box

It’s hump day and that calls for a little treat. Just because CSA boxes are packed with healthy, organic produce doesn’t mean that they can’t be used to make something majorly indulgent. Let’s all give ourselves a little break today, and enjoy something a bit special.

To recap, here’s where we stand with our CSA box for the week:

-Lettuce

-Kale

-Purslane

-Pickling Cucumbers: partially used

-Radishes: partially used

-Avocados: partially used

-Onions

-Green Beans: partially used

-Strawberries

-Carrots

-Zucchini

Be sure to check out DAY ONE and DAY TWO to see how we’ve gotten here.

Bacon, Egg and Cheese Stuffed Waffles

 Today I took my regular breakfast avocado and stuffed it inside of a waffle along with some bacon, eggs and cheese. Yes, you read that right, STUFFED WAFFLES. These are quite possibly my new favorite way to enjoy breakfast. They take a bit of time to prepare, so they aren’t an everyday food, but we’ve earned it after making it through half a week of work right?

I’m sharing the full recipe and how-to on these beauties over at Club Chica Circle today, so head over and check it out.

Strawberry Balsamic Grilled Cheese

For lunch, I’m tapping into my strawberry stash and making one of these extra cheesy strawberry balsamic grilled cheese sandwiches. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This sandwich is 100% worth the dairy overload, but, a fair warning,  it may induce that 2 o’clock food coma we all know and love.

BLT Pizza

No indulgence day is complete with a meal of pizza. Granted, this pizza is probably way healthier than something you’d have delivered, but I think it will still satisfy your cravings. Tomatoes weren’t in my CSA box this time around, but I know in a few weeks I’ll have more than I can handle so I thought I’d present this as an option.
