One CSA box, one family of four, and a whole lot of possibilities.

We are still eating a lot of salad. But tonight, I'm also planning to cook the swiss chard that I blanched earlier in the week.

I love swiss chard. It's mild, tastes good hot or cold, and is easy to prep. Basically all you do is put some olive oil in a skillet, add some garlic and cook until fragrant, then add the blanched chard. Cook until heated through. Add some raisins that you've soaked in hot water and drained, some toasted pine nuts, and some salt and freshly ground pepper.

If you prefer a true agrodolce, or sweet and sour chard, add some vinegar. If you aren't fond of fruit in your veg, leave out the raisins. And if you have some leftover, toss it in your eggs tomorrow at breakfast.
