Oh how I love this time of year!!!! It is warming up... not really. It has been 50 here all week... The flowers are blooming... Fresh fruits and vegetables from the CSA and Farmers markets.
I start my week off with Monday waiting to see our newsletter from our farmer. It is then that I know what to expect and start planning and looking forward to pick up. Wednesday around 2 the delivery was made and we make our way for pick up sometime after that. Yesterday along with the vegetables pictured above we got a dozen farm fresh eggs. We also had some extras, which I happily picked up! Applemint, Oregano and Peppermint!
I also love this time of year because I plan and plant my garden. With the weather being so rainy and cold, I have not had the chance to get everything planted... I am behind but that is OK! :) This is my second year so I am looking forward to some new tricks I have read and studied up on!!! I am really hoping for a great gardening season!!!
I will post pictures from both our CSA and our home garden!!!!
UNTIL THEN!!!! I have found a new Brussels Sprout recipe that is awesome... Might be my favorite!!!! :)
The Ingredients:
1 bag of Brussels Sprouts, ends cut off and cut in half
1/2 TBSP Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
1/2 TBSP Balsamic Vinegar
1/2 TBSP - 1 TBSP Maple Syrup
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a mixing bowl add cut Brussels Sprouts. Add Olive Oil, Balsamic Vinegar and Maple Syrup and mix well.
Pour Brussels onto a cookie sheet with Parchment paper.
Bake for 10 minutes and take out and stir around, mixing the Brussels into the juices. Put back in the oven for 10 - 15 more minutes.
THESE are hands down AMAZING, sweet tasting, delicious!!!!
I also made Almond meal and coconut crusted salmon!!! DE-LISH!
Wash and pat dry Salmon. Lay on salmon on broil pan. Coat Salmon with 1 TBSP Olive Oil. I brushed the Olive Oil around, so the salmon was COMPLETELY covered. I then sprinkled Almond Meal over the salmon. I think I used 1 - 2 TBSP of Almond Meal. Just enough to cover the Salmon. I then sprinkled 1 - 2 TBSP of shredded unsweetened coconut on the salmon. Topped the coconut with nutmeg and pepper.
Cook the Salmon at 400 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes or until the salmon flakes away.
Finally,
Saute Asparagus with just a little Olive Oil and Shredded Coconut seasoned with Lemon Pepper.
