We\u2019ve got cucumbers coming out of\u00a0our ears, literally.\u00a0 My daughter loves to help me in the kitchen.\u00a0 So I give her simple tasks, such as peeling the onion, breaking off\u00a0the ends of the green beans, and mixing the ingredients.<\/p>\n

In this week\u2019s CSA bag, we received cucumbers, green beans, basil, tomatoes, squash, peppers, onion and zucchini.\u00a0 Cucumbers are one of my favorite vegetables but we\u2019ve been given a lot of them this summer and I\u2019m getting tired of eating them plain.\u00a0 So I sought out new recipes to spice up\u00a0our cucumbers.\u00a0 I made a great recipe I found on allrecipes.com, Cucumber Salsa.\u00a0 I also created a chicken salad recipe.\u00a0 This includes red peppers, cucumbers and red onion.\u00a0 What is your favorite cucumber recipe?<\/p>\n
