This week I received the last share of the season. Sigh! (Ugh, I wrote this post in the middle of September. Sorry, just posting it now.)
Most of the produce included in the last few shares has a long shelf-life, something I'm so thankful for since over the past month I've been busy cooking for people other than myself (and my family).
However, collecting a few batches of the same type of produce suits me well, since when I do cook at home, I like to cook in large batches and then freeze most of it. See, I personally support the personal chef method!
Here is what has been included in the farm share lately:
butternut squash
eggplant
beets
scallions
green beans
tomatoes
sweet corn
new potatoes
peppers- a colorful assortment of mild and spicy
Below are a few things I've prepared in the past month with the farmshare:
Salsa made with Graceland farm bell peppers, jalapenos, and tomatoes, along with some of the orange tomatoes from my garden. 
Watermelon popsicles: puree a seeded watermelon in a blender, maybe add a little water, and freeze in molds. No need to add any sweetener for my two-year old, but a little honey and vanilla would suit my taste. An added bonus is that these popsicles take a while for my son to eat.
