CSA box week 1, and GF giveaway winner

I hope all of you had a lovely Memorial Day weekend with your families and loved ones!  Now that it's almost June, we're going to talk CSA shares and local foods. I just got my first CSA box from Great Country Farms.  (By "just" I mean 10 minutes ago.) I have got to say--I was excited all morning for this. Anyhow, this first week I received asparagus, kale, garlic scapes, red lettuce, scallions,  strawberries, and a basil start.  I already have black bean chili planned for tonight's dinner, but I'm going to supplement with a nice big green salad with the lettuce.  Maybe I'll top it with a balsamic vinaigrette and some berries.  Tomorrow I'm looking at making something with that beautiful asparagus.  Remember--I have to use all this up by Friday before my pickup at Moutoux Orchard. Somehow I don't think that'll be too hard, even though I still feel a little sheepish about having two different farm shares. At least we'll have plenty of organic produce to eat! (I see quite a healthy growing season in our future.)



But now, since you've been waiting for it, the second winner of Healthier Without Wheat and the Amazon gift card is... Candice (commenter #8), who says
After 8 years of GI issues and fatigue, I was finally diagnosed with Celiac disease about a month ago. I am seeking all of the resources that I can as I make the switch to a gluten-free diet, so this book would be a welcome addition to my collection! On Amazon, I would most like to try some of the Kind gluten-free bars.

Congratulations Candace!  I will be emailing you today.
