From the Farm to the Table: A Story in Pictures

We picked up our second box of food from Full Circle Farm today - so exciting! I decided to take a bunch of photos to show you the bounty and what I did with it.

It's here!

Oh crap. Where am I going to put this? Can you tell I just went to Costco?

Dinner-making in progress. Note my compost bowl.

My ever-present chef's helper with a spoon on her head, right before she was banned from the kitchen for not listening. Hiring a new sous-chef if anyone is interested.

Cooking in progress with my pan already nearly overflowing. Those are roasted golden beets on the right for the salad.

Finished arugula salad with roasted golden beets and radishes. I made a dijon mustard/caper/maple syrup/olive oil concoction for dressing that was surprisingly good.

Finished, steaming chili with ground turkey, eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, carrots... pretty much as much as I could fit in there.

So, there it is! A gorgeous, yummy dinner in just under an hour with lots of great organic veggies. The bean and veggie chili was one of the recipes in Food Matters and the salad was my own invention. Delicious!

  1. So fun to find your blog! We've been off our produce delivery for a while (not the greatest experience after Pioneer Organics became spud)and I've been meaning to sign up for something again so you inspired me to sign up for FCF too! I put your name on the referral line so you should get a free box. Excited to see how things continue to go for you and hopefully we can get together again soon!

  2. Hey Tisha! Thanks for putting me in for a referral! I've been really happy with their produce so far. I did have one sweet potato that wasn't up to snuff in the first box and they were very quick and very, very nice in replacing it. Great experience all around! Hope you have the same.

    Hope you guys are well. Would love to see you soon!
