Chard and Sweet Corn Tacos
We had our first frost last night. So the two ears of Filasky’s corn that were in my fridge were probably my last local corn of the year. I paired them with some swiss chard from my garden in Martha Rose Shulman’s tacos. It is a sad time of year in my garden; things are…
Lentils With Cucumbers, Chard, And Poached Egg
I wasn’t feeling well today; I spent much of it asleep. My stomach had been unsettled for a few days, but today food was not appealing to me and I was dizzy. So my plans for our dinner needed to change. I decided eggs would be good for me, and for some reason I was…
Ligurian Kale Pie
More kale from the garden! And some swiss chard from Highland Orchards. Just right for this recipe I saw on the NY Times cooking site – Ligurian Kale Pie – a free-form pie with an olive oil crust. This is a very simple looking food, but don’t be deceived, the taste was fabulous! It was light…
Orecchiette with Seared Cauliflower, Chicken and Greens
It is funny that some of my favorite dishes are created when I am trying to clean out either my refrigerator or my cabinet. This time I needed space in my refrigerator to prepare for Thanksgiving. What needed to go? half a cauliflower, half a bag of baby greens, and some chicken fingers that Cam…

Swiss Chard and Artichoke Dip
The beauty of swiss chard never ceases to amaze me. Even in a Lego Movie cup they make a great bouquet. For a new twist, I used the above bunch to make a vegetarian adaptation of Guy Fieri’s spicy swiss chard and artichoke dip. Lauren, our pescatarian, had a few friends staying with us, including…
Baked Beans with Swiss Chard
Today was the day to thin the carrots, leeks and parsnips. It was the day to pick the first strawberries and watch my son devour them. It was the day to pick some cauliflower and swiss chard. …Today was a good day to cook from the garden. Baked beans with swiss chard and smoked turkey….
Potato, Leek & Swiss Chard Hash with Eggs
Cooking from the garden has begun again! I got home from work and went out to the garden to pick some food for dinner. Look at my beautiful swiss chard bouquet… It made a really pretty bunch of sliced chard. Unfortunately, I am not feeling very well, I am recovering from a spring cold that had…
Kuku-ye Sabzi (Persian Herb Frittata)
A Kuku is the Persian version of a frittata or omelet. The kuku I make most often is tuna, like the Lemon Pepper Tuna Kuku. But I have been in the mood to experiment with them more., such as with the Eggplant Kuku from last week. SInce I have a garden full of parsley and…
