I am so saving thins bright orange #pumpkin !Next week I should have one more and we will do some October crafts with it!

The black berries are Aronia - surprise of this week. They are not easy to eat as is, but extremely good for you! It can help with blood pressure, great any-oxidant and full of vitamins! I am more familiar with its orange sister - berries from mountain-ash. And these lose it's bitter taste if picked after the first frost, not sure about Aronia berries. Either way, I mad jam with apples.

Week 16

The fall is here! So is the fall nature's gifts.

My discovery of this week is  Daikon (the white "carrot" in my basket), Which is somewhat similar to radishes and you can use it the same way. But we just sliced it very-very thin, seasoned with salt and sunflower oil. It was very good!

With the new school year started, my kids are getting very healthy lunches!

Got our first cauliflower. We all it both ways - as is and steamed. Have to figure out what to do with acorn squash... I think I remember a very nice picture of it baked. Have to find it thought...

And this huge eggplant! It's almost a kilo! Combined it with the eggplant from last week (yes, it's still good, nothing happened to it in the fridge. How long do you think it takes for a grocery store to get one to you from a farmer?). Cut in pieces, season and on the grill it goes.

Here is what we received this week:

Week 13

I must admit, pickling onions (or pearl onion) is not something I buy at a store. So I had no idea what to do with it, other than, as the name suggests - pickle. But for a dozen of these little guys, I am not getting out my pickling gear!

A friend suggested  Beef Bourgunion and it was a great idea! Took some time, but was worth it.

Now if I can only figure out what to do with this eggplant... hmm... Too bad I have only one, not enough for a side dish...
