Last week we received our first box of produce from our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - Loon Organics.  I have been eagerly anticipating starting to receive the boxes, and was thrilled when my week finally came.  We ate the strawberries within minutes of arriving home, ate the cucumber with our sandwiches, had butter lettuce on our BLT's, and chopped the kohlrabi into sticks and ate it like a snack.  I knew that Marty would enjoy eating the beets, but it seemed like a shame to toss all those lovely greens.  So, I looked around until I found a good recipe for collard greens with bacon, made a few changes and added the beet greens to my collection of collards.

The resulting recipe was easy to make and flavorful.  The kids were more excited by the idea of collard greens (thanks to Victor Vito and Freddie Vasco who ate their rice, beans, rutabagas, and collard greens) than they were about actually eating it, but Marty and I really enjoyed it.  I'll definitely make it again.
