CSA Weekly Pick-up (8/13/14)

I'm a schoolteacher, and this was our first week of school. Last week was a FULL week of in-service meetings and activities. I'm totally out of touch with the CSA schedule, and we even had to skip our pick-up last week! I have to confess, I needed an "easy" box this week. Thankfully, it IS an easy--and delicious--box. Here's what we took home:

• 1 bunch kale
• 1 bunch carrots with tops
• 1 big green bell pepper
• 1 bag miscellaneous hot peppers
• 1 small box okra
• 1 bag onions
• a few tomatoes--including green
• 2 butternut squash
• 1 bag potatoes

What will we do with this bounty? 

• Butternut Squash Soup (I've been ordered by my children to make this and NOTHING ELSE with the squash! They will concede that Butternut Squash Souffle is also pretty tasty.)
• Kale and Sweet Potato Saute (recipe coming--super yummy!)
• Sauteed Okra (already eaten--just sauté the okra with a bit of salt in a bit of olive oil until soft and browned in parts--my boys and I really like it this way)
• Easy Roasted Potatoes (why mess with what works?)
• Green Tomato Cake or Green Tomato Bread
