CSA Week 5 Bounty:
Turnip Latkes
Heat cooking oil of choice in a cast iron skillet. Combine shredded turnips, egg, and spices. Scoop some of the turnip mixture into the hot pan and cook like a pancake! Make sure each side has a nice browned exterior.

I’m drowning in lettuce here people! I hardly eat salad! So, I’ve been giving a lot away. ;) However, having all this lettuce has forced me to make beautiful salads and experiment with dressings (and I don’t even like condiments). I wanted to say that I have a couple balsamic vinegars from the Olive Branch and if you have never been to one of the stores, get on it! They have tons of flavor infused olive oils and balsamic vinegars. Currently my addiction has been EVOO with the Blackberry Ginger Balsamic. It goes perfectly with greens, strawberries, pecans, and chicken!
I’m getting ready to make my Roasted Almond Olive Oil Ice Cream again too….so good and creamy straight out of the freezer!
Some of my previous posts have alluded to all the weird things I have eaten in the past few years in addition to the importance of organ meats in our diet. However, lets face it, liver tastes so gross! I have tried to like it, tried to sneak it, and tried to plug my nose and swallow! I just haven’t found any way to eat it that I actually like. To me, you need to like your food! So, there are no recipes that I have created with liver, although I have not given up. ;)
That leads me to my burgers! One thing I have been able to use successfully and not even notice is beef heart. I got a meat grinder for Christmas and have been thinking to myself ever since about what I am possibly going to use it for. I ordered some heart from my last meat pick up and decided ground heart it is. I told myself I was going to mix with ground beef and see what happens. Ummm…amazing happened!
Beef heart burgers
You should try this…organ meat is full of nutrients! If you don’t, I won’t hold it against you. However, you may want to inquire what your burger is made of at the next backyard BBQ at my house!
Paleo Waldorf Tuna Salad (the clothes make the girl)
Ingredients:
Mix it all together and enjoy!
I will say that I bring this as a side dish to events a lot of times because it is a quick, easy, tasty protein dish that doesn’t have real temperature needs. You obviously wouldn’t want to leave it out in the sun for hours, but it doesn’t require a crockpot or any other fancy contraptions. I don’t like tuna salad…at all; however, this tuna salad is one I eat by the spoonful. You won’t be disappointed! and it’s apple season….
