What have we been getting lately in our Farm Share Basket?

The weeks sure fly by quickly! July was a great farm share month and every week now the harvest for our farm share basket seems to be more bountiful. Below is a list of some of the delicious items we have been receiving in our CSA basket:

- beets
- broccoli
- zucchini
- field cucumbers
- corn
- garlic
- cilantro
- cauliflower
- jalapeno peppers
- swiss chard
- red potatoes
- another kind of potatoes (sorry, I can't recall the name anymore)
- cantaloupe

We tried several recipes with cucumber, but probably the best was this appetizer:

Ingredients:
- 3 cucumbers (peeled and sliced)
- goat cheese (one large log)
- sundried tomatoes (one package in oils)
- fresh Ontario garlic minced (2 cloves)

Directions:
Mix the goat cheese garlic and sundried tomatoes together and then put it on top of the cucumber slices. This makes for a really delicious appetizer!

As well, we like to eat our corn with lime, cayenne pepper and salt. We use equal parts of cayenne and salt and then dip a lime slice in the spice mixture and spread the mixture onto the cooked corn. It is deliciously spicy and much more flavourful than butter. Yum!

By the way, if you have a chance to try fresh Ontario cantaloupe I would highly recommend it. The flavour is completely different from the store bought cantaloupes. I was never a huge fan of cantaloupe, but the cantaloupe we received in our farm share this past week sure changed my mind. I never realized that I could like cantaloupe so much!
