In today’s Receipt, a 41-year-old elementary school teacher gets a weekly box of fresh veggies from her local CSA and bakes buttery, crunchy apple shortbread bars for her fellow teachers. Keep reading for her receipts.

Do you follow a certain diet or have dietary restrictions? Nope! We really eat everything. We are blessed to get a CSA produce box from Groundwork Organics each week on “trade,” which means I help with recipes and things on the farm when they need it, so it’s not hard to find wonderful things to make at home.

What are the grocery staples you always buy, if any? Eggs, fruit, milk, half and half, cheeses and meat. We get tons of seasonal veggies—lately, loads of salad greens, corn, grapes, tomatoes, summer squash, potatoes, and peppers—in our CSA box each week, so I don’t have to shop for that.
