I know you all missed it.  I actually considered not restarting this feature when I got back to the blog after our move, but the truth is *I* like it and find it useful and hopefully it inspires someone else in the kitchen too.

I have mentioned that Big Daddy and I joined a CSA this summer.  I LOVE it.  I love eating fresh berries on the way home from picking up our share.  I love supporting local farmers who are growing  organically and sustainably.  I love getting e-mail from the CSA organizer reminding us to soak our organic broccoli in salt water to get the worms out (okay, I didn’t love that, but I’ll be soaking my broccoli for sure) and I LOVE the fresh veggies and new recipes.

Last week, we got zucchini in our share box.  Just one, but big enough to make a batch of zucchini which is a huge favorite in our house during the summers.  My favorite recipe is from my Betty Crocker cookbook with chocolate chips addes.
