Beet Greens and Soyrizo with Polenta and Black Beans

Today was Thursday, which means that it was time for another CSA pick-up. This week, our bounty contained kale, beets, chard, carrots, more different beets, lime basil, broccoli, and five different summer squashes.

Thursday and CSA pick-up day also meant that we headed north to my dad's house, so that we could divide up our share and have a lovely dinner together.

For tonight's meal, I sauteed up all of the beet greens with soyrizo. P fried up some thin slices of polenta so that they got a little crispy, and we topped them with refried black beans and New Mexican red chile. It was a fast and simple meal, as my brother and dad both got home pretty late -- but definitely tasty.

CSA Booty

Thursday is veggie pick-up day! And not a moment too soon, since we used up the last of our vegetables in last night's dinner . . .

Thursdays are also normally the day we head up to my dad's house. We split our CSA share with my dad and brother, so it's the day where we divide up the veggies and I make dinner for the family. More on that later.

Here's what we got this week:
From left to right: kale, beets (with greens), carrots, spring onions, mustard greens, giant head of lettuce. In the front, big ol' pile of turnips and head of red lettuce.

Glorious, isn't it?
