Fresh, local produce! CSA week 1

Today we picked up our first 'share' of the CSA we joined!  We both went for the pick-up, and since we pick it up at the Stono Market, we get so see what everything is (it's labeled) and pack it ourselves.  In this week's share we have:

Kale
Spinach
Arugula
Mesclun
Radishes
Broccoli
Asparagus
Strawberries
Turnips
Beets
Carrots
Sweet onion
Rainbow chard
Fresh eggs

Here's some ideas for what we'll make this week with the goods...
Pizza bianca with goat cheese and greens (sweet onion, kale or spinach and feta instead of goat cheese)
Salad (tonight, plus other nights - mix of spinach, mesculin and arugula with radish and carrots on top, homemade mustard vinaigrette)
Beet greens (recipe here, using kale and maybe the rainbow chard)
Quiche or egg bake (for Easter breakfast, using the fresh eggs and maybe some spinach)
General Tso's tofu with broccoli

Dinner tonight - our mesclun/spinach/arugula salad with the carrots and radishes:
WOW - it was soooo good!  I can't believe greens can have a taste.  And I didn't think I really liked carrots, but I did really like these.  Look at the colors they came in:
