first CSA dinner

Tonight I made my first dinner from my Horse & Buggy produce share.  I made wheatberries* with chicken broth, sauteed onions and mushrooms.  This was accompanied by roasted butternut squash with a maple syrup and orange juice glaze.  I used some of the mixed Asian greens and greenhouse cucumbers to make a salad.  Upon this salad I poured homemade balsamic vinaigrette sweetened with some of the leftover glaze.  The maple syrup was a gift Nj brought me back from Vermont.


For dessert, I used some of the frozen blackberries to make a kiwi blackberry salad with homemade whipped cream.  The whipped cream had just a tiny bit of hazelnut syrup which imbued it with a slight and delicious nuttiness.

Cool. Ours started delivery for a reasonable fee so I think we'll get our first basket on Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes.
