I’m super excited to report that I joined a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) with FeistyFoodie! 
You sign up in advance to receive a share of vegetables from local farmers every week for a season. The contents vary from week so you don’t really know what you’ll get. More importantly, I love supporting local farmers and getting fresh produce!
I’m sure I will come across some vegetables that I’ll have no idea what to do with. Will you help me figure it out? Please say you will!
But before I get to being crazy about how to prepare vegetables, let’s explore how to prepare a steak. Balance is necessary in life, don’t you think? 
Ingredients:
1 8 oz. ribeye steak
1 sprig of fresh thyme
5 pieces of whole garlic cloves
2 tablespoons of butter
Fresh cracked pepper
Seasalt
Procedure:
1. Heat oven to 375 (for at least 30 minutes)!
2. Rub pepper and seasalt all over the steak.
3. Heat up a cast iron skillet with vegetable oil on high for 10 minutes. Once the pan is screaming hot, add steak. Sear each side for 3 minutes. Make sure you only flip once!
4. Place the skillet in oven with butter, garlic and thyme (I skipped cuz I didn’t have any). Use the finger test to check for doneness (is that a word?). Medium should take about 4-5 minutes.
5. Once the meat is to your desired liking, remove from oven and let meat rest for 10 minutes on a plate before slicing.
6. Slice against the grain and enjoy!
Sidenote: I had some leftover veggies from my dinner at Simply Fondue. There were slices of radish, zucchini, kale and green bell peppers. I just seasoned them in garlic salt and oregano, then baked them alongside the steak. It was cost effective and yummy!
