We signed up for a CSA Farm Share Box this year. It has been a lot of fun getting a variety of vegetables. This week I made fresh salsa with the vegetables in my box.
Ingredients:
3 Tomatoes
1/4 Onion
2 Jalapenos (As many as you like for heat)
1 Clove of Garlic Crushed
Sea Salt to Taste
Cumin to Taste
1 Ear of Raw Corn (Remove the corn from the cob)
Fresh Cilantro to Taste
Put all of the ingrediants in the food processor. Once it is ground up enjoy on chips or on food.
Note:
I used the whole jalapeno, seeds and all
The salsa will get more flavorful the second day when the flavors mix together.

Beets
You can make fresh beets on the stove or in the crock pot. They are easy, but they take a long time to cook, similar to a potato.
Preparing the Beet
Cut the stems off of the beets. If you leave 2 inches of steam at the top and bottom of the beet, it will prevent the red from going into the water. (You can eat the leave in a salad or steam them. They are nutritious.)
COOKING THE BEETS
Crock Pot
1. Fill the crock pot with water, salt to taste and at least a tsp of vinegar
2. Add the beets.
3. Cook on Low all day
Stove
1. Fill the pan with water, salt to taste and at least a tsp of vinegar
2. Add beets.
3. Boil on a medium heat 30-60 minutes, until the beets are tender and done
SERVING THE BEETS
1. Remove the beets from the pan or crock pot and run under cold water until you can touch them.
2. Remove the skin by sliding it off of the beats.
3. Cut up the beets and serve. Add additional seasoning, butter or whatever you enjoy. Some ideas are melted butter, salt, pepper, basil, savory, caraway seeds, minced chives, minced parsley.
