December 2010 CSA Winter Share

I went to the Garden of Eve today to pick up my Winter Share CSA.  Basically, it is like an episode of "Chopped" on the Food Network.  I get a box of farm fresh foods and each month is a surprise.  I like it because it causes me too be creative and try to make great recipes with foods I may never have tried before. I have some soup ideas in mind. Stay tuned to see what I create out of this box.  I paid $275 for 6 months of food, which is about $46 per month.  This week I got my money's worth.

This is what was in the box and the cost of the food if purchased from the store.
