Sprouts Galore



            Community Harvest had many helping hands this week from the sisters of Delta Gamma and Kappa Alpha Theta, and the brothers of Sigma Phi Epsilon. Community Garden members brought a plethora of vegetables: brussel sprouts, lettuce, carrots, baby tomatoes, romanesco, and purple cauliflower.

            We started out by preparing the brussel sprouts (in the red bowls) which were baked in garlic and butter. 


            The salad came together nicely, and by the end was full of color.



            The DG girls helped process eggplants to be stored for future use. They were chopped up and frozen so Community Harvest can serve them during winter, when the Garden is no longer yielding delicious produce. 



            The gentlemen from Sig Ep sliced apples fresh from the produce auction. They made baked cinnamon apples that were served for dinner along with chicken sandwiches, chicken noodle soup, the brussel sprouts, and the salad. 


            The brothers as well as the girls helped serve dinner to a little over 90 people. It was a full house with very few leftovers.
  



            Community Harvest will continue to come up with creative meals from donated resources as winter arrives!
