Here's what's in store for your CSA delivery from Wolf Pine Farm this week.

Butterhead and romaine or leaf lettuce Two heads, so this is a salad week! See all the recipes for lettuce and other salad greens. The classic use for romaine, of course, is in a Caesar salad. My own big 'salad lesson' for the summer is that good olive oil and good vinegar are worth the investment, whether for a simple vinaigrette or just drizzling over delicate baby vegetables.

Mesclun greens - see all the recipes using leafy greens but since Wolf Pine Farms' greens will be so young and tender, check my spinach recipes too

Fennel - Fennel! Ah, it's got such sweet aroma and flavor! See all the fennel recipes but I especially recommend the Spring & Summer Sliced Salad since you'll have radishes too, or this traditional Italian fennel salad. If you have a mandoline, you'll be able to shave thin-thin airy slices of fennel. StephenCooks has posted some great fennel ideas, too.

Excuse me. All this food talk makes me hungry. I'll be back in a minute.

Garlic scapes - This is your second week with garlic scapes and I was happy to hear from your fellow shareholder Liza that she had great luck with a garlic scape pesto. I haven't yet cooked with scapes but here are recipes from other food bloggers, ones whose recipes I like and trust. From your own fellow Wolf Pine Farm shareholder, check out StephenCooks' Absorption Pasta with Garlic Scapes and Wild Mushrooms (be sure to check the comments for other ideas, too). Or try this version of scape pesto from What Geeks Eat or this from Calendula & Concrete. For something a little different, try Summer Succotash with Garlic Scapes or a Spinach Souffle made with cream infused with garlic scape flavor. (Or check the 'scape recipes' at Wolf Pine Farm.)

Scallions - Green onions are easy to use but there are at least two recipes where green onion is an 'essential' ingredient, this vegetarian supper made with asparagus and farro and this quick 'n' easy side salad with Italian dressing.

Sugar Snap Peas - Two weeks in a row, you lucky folks! Check out the recipes for sugar snap peas amid the pea recipes but I especially recommend the Sugar Snap Peas with Lemon Butter (sorry about the picture, it doesn't want to display today). Plus the 'sugar snap peas recipes' on Wolf Pine Farm look good too.

Baby carrots & Baby turnips Okay, now I am seriously envious, so much so that I'm going to go out on a limb and share a classic Finnish recipe that I've not yet published online. It's called kesäkeitto (that's KEH-saa-KAY-toe) or 'summer soup' and just thrives on baby vegetables. In one pot, cook (or steam) a pile of baby vegetables, carrots, turnips, peas, beans, onion too (your fennel and radishes will also be great here) until they're just tender. In another pot, whisk together 2 tablespoons of flour, a tablespoon of sugar, salt to taste and 4 cups milk -- be sure to add the milk a tablespoon at a time at first so you don't get any lumps, my taste says whole milk, that half & half and cream would be way too rich and overpower the delicate vegetables. Gently bring this to a boil (but don't let it boil), then add the vegetables and simmer for 10 minutes. Dot with butter, parsley. Enjoy ...

Oh. And if this doesn't tempt, check all the carrot recipes but I especially recommend butter-simmered carrots, creamy carrot puree and the amazing mashed potatoes & carrots that my family begs for or a kid-friendly carrot soup.

Or all the turnip recipes, but I'd especially recommend creamed turnips though with baby turnips, wouldn't mash them.

Maybe Radishes - See all the radish recipes

Maybe cooking greens like kale, Swiss Chard, collards or maybe mustard greens - for recipe ideas, see the Leafy Greens recipes but if you can't use the greens for a day or so, I really recommend doing a quick cook right away as in Greek Greens

Pick Your Own Natalie says the pick your own garden is filled with flowers and herbs and will have hot peppers later in the season.

That's all for the week but you've got some real farm treasures in store, for sure. Let me know how this works for you by leaving a comment, below! Otherwise, see you next week! ~ Your Friend in Vegetables, Alanna
