I never get tired of my chard bouquets. I really like the orange and pink stems of this one. It was Arielle’s birthday dinner, so I wanted to do a twist on a traditional lasagna. This is lighter than the other pesto based lasagnas I have made, and I was very happy with the outcome….

Zucchini & Garlic Scape Frittata
The zucchini has arrived and I picked up garlic scape from Beechwood Orchards at the farmers market again, so I thought I would combine the two in a frittata using Farmer Kim’s eggs. Using some herbs from my garden, I had everything for the frittata except cheese. Choices in my fridge included feta,…
Lentil Salad with Swiss Chard
This morning I picked the second-to-last large bunch of swiss chard. There are still more bunches, but they are small second-growings of bunches we have already eaten. I am in a bit of a hurry to finish the chard so that my okra plants (which are interplanted with the chard) can get the full light…
Zucchini Pasta with Tomatoes & Feta
And so it begins…zucchini time! It is always so disarming, first a few cute little zucchini; a few weeks later and we will be innundated and no amount of zucchini bread baking will be able to keep up. But the season here is usually short lived, our plants are prone to a disease and as…
Swiss Chard – White Bean – Tomato Ragout
Still harvesting swiss chard, but what new to do with it? I wanted something really flavorful, and different from the dishes I have already made this season. Last year I had tried a few white bean/tomato dishes that were very tasty. So when I saw a dish in Martha Rose Shulman’s Mediterranean Harvest cookbook for…
Carrot Salad Pita Sandwiches
What to do with all those carrots? My carrots have grown bigger and more abundantly this year than they ever have, so I wanted a dish that would highlight them. So, how about a carrot salad worthy of being a lunch in itself? By the way, I attribute the quality of the carrots to…
Fava Beans & Pasta
My meeting today took me near one of my favorite farms – Highland Orchards in Wilmington, DE. They grow naturally, and grow a lot of fruits and vegetables that I do not, so I am like a kid in a candy store when I go into their shop. Today I bought blackberries, black raspberries, red…
Mediterranean Swiss Chard Pilaf
I stopped at Filasky’s Produce to pick up some fill-ins that I don’t have in my garden – local spring onions, local tomatoes (mine are just flowering) and their own snow peas and strawberries. While I was there I couldn’t resist getting a cup of Woodside Farm Creamery ice cream – it is heavenly. The…
Rainbow Chard Gratin
I love greens and this is the first year I have planted any type of chard. I chose rainbow chard, a colorful form of swiss chard. I guess the weather and my soil have been perfect for it, it is coming in really strong. We have been eating it in one form or another twice…
