Low-Carbery On Hiatus

It is hard to maintain a low-carb philosophy when the house is always full of potatoes, carrots, and corn. But I am trying my best to reserve white flour and white sugar for special occasions. Maybe this winter I will reform.

Today's CSA delivery:

Corn: Seven ears! I am thinking more seriously about canning some corn relish. I have gone so far as to draft a shopping list for the project.

Carrots: a giant bag.

Green beans: a small bag. I may try roasting them.

Summer squash: One yellow squash and one huge patty pan--cream-colored with neatly scalloped edges. More muffins, I think. Or maybe a ribbon salad.

Onions

Garlic

Potatoes: not russets, but similar in appearance.

Edamame in their fuzzy pods: I was so pleased! I like to make 3-bean salad with these. If I can't finish them this week, I will blanch and freeze them.

Tomato: One giant heirloom variety.

Sweet red pepper: will go into the corn relish.

Broccoli: I haven't forgotten that I had previously declared a plan for making broccoli pesto. I got some prompting from this recipe for double broccoli quinoa, conveniently appearing in my Google Reader this week. I already know that it will be fabulous, because it will be topped with avocado and feta cheese.
