Last year was my first year of joining a local CSA and frequenting my new town’s farmers markets. I came home week after week with incredible amounts of produce, many of which at a loss of what to do with. (P.S. if you’re looking to save money eating organic, a CSA is an amazing resource).
I hate to say it, I wasted a lot last year. I often didn’t use up all of those more unique ingredients. But not this year.
This year, I’m teaming up with my fabulous friends Juli (from PaleOMG) and Cassy from Fed and Fit to bring you a recipe a week inspired by our CSAs and Farmer’s Market hauls! That’s right. Every week you’ll get THREE delicious recipes to inspire you to cook something new, try a new ingredient, or just enjoy that fresh local produce!
Part of my first haul!
If you’re looking for a CSA in your area, this website is a good resource on how to find one!
Everything is better in a bowl. Seriously! This week let’s use up some kale, garlic scapes, scallions, and cucumber!
[yumprint-recipe id=’368′]
Now, let’s see what my fabulous friends made this week!
In a bowl whisk together fish marinade ingredients and pour over fish. Let sit for 10 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Cook fish inside: Place broiler on high. Place fish on a lined and greased baking sheet and broil for 7 to 9 minutes depending on the thickness of your fish. Add sesame seeds to garnish.
Cook fish on the grill: Grease grill and heat to medium. Place fish on a sheet of tin foil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked to your liking. Add sesame seeds to garnish.
Assemble bowls: Add rice to each bowl. Top with kale mixture, salmon, avocado, cucumber, egg, scallions, and radish slices. Serve and enjoy.

A hearty end of summer salad filled with caramelized peaches and crispy onions.
I am so excited to be over on Sylvie’s blog Gourmande in the Kitchen today, guest posting so she can spend some amazing time with her new addition, a gorgeous baby girl!
Today’s recipe is hands down one of my new favorites. See, while some people are moving towards Fall recipes already, I’m still sitting here in the heat, with TONS of fresh peaches and fresh kale and onions from my local CSA.
I love this salad. The sweet caramelized peaches with the crunch of the crispy onions is just such a wonderful combination! I also love that it is so flavorful that it pairs with any simple dressing!
Find the recipe over on Gourmande in the Kitchen HERE.
