Broccoli Raab
As it seems that most everybody likes broccoli, it should follow that they also like broccoli raab. Also know as rapini, this tasty Italian green is nothing more than a non-heading relative of the broccoli asked for on every member survey. We highly recommend the recipe in our Week 3 blog, one we feel should be a hit with young and old alike.

Tomatoes
While we hand out a lot of tomatoes, we don’t necessarily give you a lot of tomato recipes, as we figure most folks know what to do with them. Today’s recipe is a bit out of necessity (eg, limited time). Quick and simple, this dish’s success is all in the ingredients. We used Bread of Life Multi Grain bread, some Sicilian sea salt from Bad Seed, organic extra virgin olive oil, FSF tomatoes and basil, and some Parmesan cheese. Quicker, better and cheaper than ordering out pizza.

The toast recipe above is a bit different than this manly sandwich recommend by Betty Crocker in 1954.
