Hello from the farm! Sorry that this post is coming a day late-days this week have gotten away from me and I thought it was Wednesday! I guess it’s not just the summer that has flown by-it’s the days and weeks too!
The last breath of summer is upon us and we are enjoying what the end of the season is blessing us with during the harvest. To think that Thanksgiving is in a few short weeks already-I know I have home made pumpkin pie on my list of things to bake in the next coming weeks and I’ll share my favourite recipe with you closer to the holiday. The boxes this week are colorful and quite the variety-I’m excited to cook this week.
Here is what you can look forward to in this weeks boxes:
Half
-green cabbage
-green peppers
-buttercup squash
-carrots
-ground cherries (just remove the husk and eat, they also make an awesome garnish for cupcakes with the husk pulled back)
-grape tomatoes
-green kale
-sugar snap peas
-baby bok choy
-watermelon or cantaloupe

Jenny was kind enough to share a lovely cupcake recipe for those lovely ground cherries that we got in our boxes too. I’m hoping to bake some and bring them along to a play date tomorrow but I might only have time to bake cookies-we shall see how the day goes. Here is a link to the recipe (I would copy and paste but she has such a lovely blog with step by step photos and a lovely bit on the ground cherries too-and they look yummy that I figured if your interested you can follow the link)
