I recently joined a CSA for the first time and my husband and I are already swimming in vegetables after only 2 pick ups. We don't know what we're getting each week until we pick up the basket, which makes planning hard, but experimenting fun.
One veggie include in a recent basket was a bunch of swiss chard. I'd never tried this veg before...I don't even know if I'd seen it before...but I do know almost any vegetable can be sauteed, so I decided to start there. YUM!
I am house sitting for my parents while they are on a Baltic Sea cruise (*sigh*), so I am limited to the ingredients in their kitchen (though I did bring most of my CSA basket with me....the husband will just let them wilt in the fridge while I am gone). My parents have every time of soy sauce and vinegar known to man, but no olive oil. I did find some canola oil, but I decided to use butter instead.
*Edit: My mom has since shown me where she keeps her olive oil. It is in a totally separate cabinent from all her other oils, and is all the way on the back of the shelf. No wonder I couldn't find any!

Looks good! We get bunches of swiss chard from our CSA farm, so I'm definitely starring this one!
