In Episode 5, we chat about our third CSA pickup of the season with Ashley Elizabeth from Sweetpea Lifestyle. Ashley shares her recipe ideas for broccoli and kale, and how cooking with local food comes naturally to her based on her upbringing in Asheville, North Carolina. We also made sure to get some great hosting tips from her!

In this episode we cover:

• How to make broccoli steaks
• Cooking kale as you would collard greens
• Enjoying gem lettuce this time of year
• Learning that kale is a very common crop in the Appalachian region
• Asheville as a great city for farm to table cooking
• Ways to make hosting a gathering less stressful
• Ashley's tips for cooking collards

And in the show notes, host David Crowley shares what he made with the week's CSA farm share, including his delicious kale pesto recipe!
