The okra has started producing. I am especially happy about that this year; for a while I thought I would have no okra crop. Why? Well, I planted the okra in two places in the garden and they started coming up very nicely. That was before I left on vacation in June. When I came…

Summer Squash and Egg Skillet
Zucchini, Zucchini, Zucchini…time yet again for a zucchini dinner. Tonight’s is a variation on the other egg skillets I have shared that include zucchini. In this one, the zucchini and yellow squash are the stars, serving as the base upon which the eggs rest. I bought these beautiful green zucchini from Beechwood Orchards at the farmers…
Zucchini Bread Pancakes
What do you do when you have a huge zucchini and have made enough zucchini bread (although, really, is there ever enough zucchini bread)? You make zucchini bread pancakes! Arielle was given a zucchini from her friend Tori’s garden. It was huge. She made 4 loaves of zucchini bread and there was still two and…
Loaded Potato, Zucchini & Garlic Scape Frittata and Running Update
Arielle came home from Farmer Kim with some fresh yukon gold potatoes and eggs. + I went to the garden and harvested a zucchini. + I stopped by Beechwood Orchards’ stand at the farmers market and bought some garlic scapes. + some parmesan, kosher salt and pepper. = You have the makings for a very…
Swiss Chard and Egg Bake
I do love making breakfast dishes for dinner, there is something very comforting to me in doing that. I think also that it enables me to relax and make breakfast dishes that take longer than I am willing to take in the morning – I wake up really hungry every day, and waiting an hour…
Asparagus Quiche in a Spinach Crust
Farmer Kim brought some asparagus with the eggs yesterday, enough for me to make 2 asparagus dishes this week – yay! So I grabbed a few today to chop up, steam and put in a quiche. Spinach crust? Yes, the crust is simply spinach, flour and wheat germ and it is a great crust for…
Fried Sage Omelet
First, a garden update..things are starting to happen in the garden and it is making me very happy. As you can see in my header, the romaine lettuce is looking beautiful, and I used the first head to make a Greek salad with dinner the other night. The rhubarb is getting huge. I am not…
Potato, Onion & Cheese Scrambled Omelet
OK, I admit it, I have been in egg mode. It happens every now and then, I will not make eggs for breakfast for a while, then suddenly I will make eggs for dinner several times a week for a few weeks. I am not sure why this happens, but, I just go with it….
Chiles Rellenos Egg and Cheese Bake
It is time again to showcase Farmer Kim’s eggs…and what better way to do it than with an egg and cheese bake? This recipe is adapted from a chiles rellenos quiche from Cooking Jewish by Judy Bart Kancigor. I often make this during Passover, but it is good for a light dinner or brunch at…
Roasted Vegetable Scrambled Omelet (Jerusalem Artichokes, Cauliflower & Brussels Sprouts)
I still have more of Farmer Kim’s Jerusalem artichokes, so it is time for another creation. I roasted them with two of my favorite winter veggies – cauliflower and brussels sprouts, then bound them together with eggs and cheddar in a scrambled omelet – yum! Roasted Vegetable Scrambled Omelet (note: the pieces of all three…
