This was our first week getting our CSA produce pickup. We were blessed with a wealth of spinach, strawberries, turnips and turnip & mustard greens.
I’ll admit, we haven’t really used turnips or their greens much, so consider us adventurous this week… I had to hunt a little for ideas, but I’ve calculated the points on everything. While I know most of you didn’t get my box, these are all in season produce items so you should find tham at a pretty good price point in your store.
