I picked up my first CSA box today. I have been so excited about this whole eating organic vegetables thing for about a month now. Now that the wedding is over, I have the time and money to try it out. So today - today I picked up my first box of beautiful produce.

Everyone kept telling me it was going to be a lot of food. And they were right. But man it looks awesome. The basil (which I don't even normally eat) was the best looking basil I had ever seen. This week's box contained eggplant, butternut squash, onion, garlic, little tiny pears, basil, heirloom tomatoes and cantaloupe.

I made pasta with baked eggplant and a homemade fresh tomato, onion, garlic and basil sauce. Yum!

I can't wait to see what next week brings!

(and yes, I can't believe I am this excited about produce either)
