I can't remember if I mentioned joining a CSA on here yet, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat. A CSA is basically a farm that you buy a membership in and get weekly produce from. My CSA produces everything without chemicals and is farmed by an autism group home. I figured this would be a good way for me to try more new veggies this summer. AND to get them fresh, local, and nearly organic.
Now I eat my veggies, but I've pretty much stuck to brussel sprouts, asparagus, lettuce, carrots, and potatoes (not really a veggie in my opinion). I'm happy to expand my horizons this summer, but I may need some help.
Last week, I got spring garlic, arugula, chives, basil, and radishes. I kinda ruined a lot of it not knowing that my bottom refrigerator drawer actually seems to freeze things instead of being a vegetable crisper. I think I saved the basil and the arugula though.
This week (today) I got lettuce, cilantro, scallions, garlic snapes, and baby turnips.
So, I'm not exactly a very knowledgeable cook. I thought I'd ask if anybody has any fabulous recipes for turnips. I'm probably going to roast them. Seems like the thing to do, but I'm open to suggestions.
I'll probably give away the cilantro and garlic snapes. Since I can't smell, they don't taste to me. Better enjoyed by people who can smell.
So please, pass along any great recipes. I never know what I might be missing.
I'll try to post each week what I get. I really am going to need all the help I can get with a lot of this produce. But I'm excited to try!

roast them with a tiny bit of olive oil. Yum. I like to sprinkle a bit of grated parmesan on too.
Thanks! They were quite tasty. I'm glad I have more to make.
