One recipe that doesn’t require cooking. It comes to us from Whole Foods again. I love Waldorf salad. Yogurt as dressing is a great switch from mayonnaise.
Waldorf Salad with Honey-Yogurt Dressing
Fruit
Strawberry and Cream Scones
From the folks at King Arthur flour. The quart in the CSA box has inspired me to do some baking along with just snacking right out of the basket.
Kale-Chicken-Rice-Blueberry Salad
A nice take on kale salad. Adapted from a recipe in Saveur magazine.
Melon Martini
This martini recipe came from the folks at East Atlanta Village Farmers Market. It’s from food blog Glue & Glitter. The original recipe called for watermelon, but it would work with any melon that came in your box. I got watermelon, I know there were other varieties as well.
Strawberries, Balsamic and Ice Cream
Are you already a convert to sprinkling beautiful ripe strawberries with a bit of balsamic vinegar? If you haven’t already devoured the contents of your pint, try this over ice cream, frozen yogurt or plain Greek yogurt. The better the balsamic you use, the better the result.
Inside Out Apple Pie à la Mode
One last apple recipe for 2013. This is from “The Sprouted Kitchen: A Tastier Take on Whole Foods” by Sara Forte.
From the book:
The contrasts in both temperature and texture—from the crunchy crust, to the cold ice cream, to the warm apples—put this ice cream pie in a class all its own. And, believe it or not, all the components can be made in advance, so all you have to do is simply warm up the apples when you’re ready to serve. If you or someone you’re serving has a nut allergy, 1/2 cup more oats can be substituted for the pecans in the crust.
Note that if you put all the warm apples on top of the ice cream pie, you will end up with a big mess. I suggest cutting the pie into pieces and serving each with an individual scoop of warm apples. Alternatively, you can serve the sautéed apples at room temperature, which will keep the ice cream from melting so quickly.
Apple Upside Down Cornmeal Cake
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a 10-inch oven-going skillet melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add apples; cook and stir 5 minutes or until tender. Remove from skillet. In same skillet combine remaining butter and brown sugar. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter melts. Bring to boiling. Remove Read More…
Carrot, Apple and Ginger Soup
Is there anyone who doesn’t love carrot soup? The carrots in my CSA box were on the large side so they’ll be perfect for soup. This is a recipe from Southern Living.
Gouda and Apple Pie
I seem to be in the mood for gouda. If you’re not “pie-d” out, try this recipe from seriouseats.com. It offers an interesting method of dealing with apples which helps avoid a pie that’s overrun with juice.
Apple Cider Chicken
In a large skillet, heat half of the oil and half of the butter over medium heat until bubbly. Add apples; sauté for 5 to 8 minutes or until golden. Transfer to a dish; set aside. Increase heat to medium-high. Add remaining oil and butter to skillet. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add half Read More…
