CSA Pickup #2 - Strawberry-Kiwi-Homemade-Lemonade

So, I am playing catch up here, we are now going on week 4, but here is the fresh lovely produce we received from the Dillner Farm CSA:

Lettuce, tomatoes, kale and do you recognize the red stalks???  It’s Rhubarb.

And lastly, the MOST sweet & delicious strawberries you will never get from a grocery store!

Now, you can guess that the Kale was promptly used for the baked kale chips as previously posted.  The lettuce and tomatoes found their way into some crisp salads.  

The rhubarb was destined for a strawberry/rhubarb tart…but the weather was too hot to bake that week, so it has yet to find its way out of the crisper – believe me it will.

The strawberries, well, most have been gobble up by the plethora of little (and big) fingers that reside here, BUT the rest went into the following Strawberry-Kiwi Lemonade.

Getting kids involved is always an adventure – but they had a blast muddling the fruit.
