Morning! I have neglected my blog, my excuse is simple- I have been cooking up goodies using our CSA bounty and oh, starting a school.

Here is what I am making using CSA and other local products-

Green bean and black beans over rice-fry a few strips of bacon (set aside)

While the bacon is cooking start your black beans. add beans to a pan, cover with water (roughly ten times the water to beans). cook slowly until it comes to a rolling boil. turn off- remove from heat and cover. let set or an hour and a half. drain and discard water.

Break green beans into thirds. place in pan with crumbled bacon and a tiny bit grease. add black beans. Cook until beans are tender.

Serve over basmati or brown rice.

Yumy

Tater, swiss chard, bacon, green bean stew

Use a bit of bacon from previous recipe. cut out taters into cubes and place in crock. Add boulion/broth over taters and set on slow cook 8hrs. You can add onion, garlic and salt/pepper to taste.

Before serving add green beans, swiss chard and other veggies.

You might want to thicken this mixture by adding a bit of warm water to cornstarch/arrowroot and slowly stir into stew.
