Summer CSA Week 3

Because 4th of July is this week my CSA box showed up on Tuesday instead of Thursday. It is pretty much a repeat of last week and included:

  • Slicer tomatoes
  • Cucumbers’
  • Cantaloupe
  • Peaches
  • Eggplant
  • Green Beans
  • New Potatoes
  • Bell peppers
  • Jalapeno peppers (hot)
  • Banana peppers
  • Sweet Corn

The banana peppers and eggplant will surely get grilled for wraps this week. Honestly you can’t beat grilled eggplant IMHO. Tasty, tasty. Too bad my husband doesn’t like it. More for me then!

I now have enough jalapenos to make Jalapeno poppers this weekend. The trick is going to be figuring out how to do that without a deep fryer. I don’t have one and don’t have any intention of owning one. I could just heat the oil up to temperature in a pot, but I’d prefer to see if I can make a little healthier version of them. I found a couple possible recipes. One from Emeril and another from RecipeGirl. Will report which wins out and if it works out.
