Golden Beets (spray free) - These beets are from a farm in Austin, MB! Store them in a bag in the fridge for up to 1 week. They shouldn't be washed until using. A popular way to use beets is chopping into pieces and roasting...it brings out the sweetness! They can also be sliced thinly into salads, put into a soup, or pureed into a beet hummus. I also like juicing beets with carrots and apples! Try out this recipe using your beets and kale: Warm Golden Beet Salad!   Husk Cherries (spray free) - These golden gems come from Justin at Hearts & Roots! These husk or ground cherries come in a little papery shell. They should be removed when eating. Keep the husk cherries in the fridge. They can be chopped up to add a sweet note to a salsa, used to make a jelly, and make mini pies or tarts! Check out this recipe for Mini Ground cherry Pies!   Leek (spray free) - Leeks this week are from Jeff at Wild Earth Farms! Chop off the dark leaves and place in a bag in the fridge. When using, cut off the bottom and wash in between the outer layers. Use leeks in replace of onion in potato or pasta dishes, soups, quiche, warm dips, stir fry's or veggie fritters!

Keep it in its husk in the fridge until ready to use. It will last at least a week. This corn will only need a few minutes of boiling and then its ready to eat! I cut the corn off one of my cobs and sautéed it with some zucchini for a quinoa salad! For a fun party appetizer, use some corn in this Cheesy Bacon Jalapeno Corn Dip!   Zucchini (spray free) - These zucchini are from Jeff at Wild Earth Farm! Keep them unwashed in the fridge for up to a week. You may be getting tired of zucchini by now, but there are actually so many different ways to use them! I'm planning on doing a zucchini lasagna tomorrow! For an easy side dish, cut in half lengthwise and grill, or put into a quinoa or couscous salad. It can be  a replacement for noodles or even be made into chips! For baking options, try carrot and zucchini muffins, or chocolate zucchini cake!
