And Then There Were 60 – Episode 60
Written by Rachel, Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts
It is spring. It’s time for asparagus and sugar snap peas, tank tops and flip flops, BBQs and Burgers. I like spring. I like the leaves that are greeting us with their green cheer, and the blossoms that mean fruit is just around the corner.
I do not like the allergies that come with spring. But, since spring means that the baseball season is about to start, allergies schmallergies.
On this lovely spring day, I used eggs from Burroughs Family Farms. They are the best eggs. (If you’re an Abundant Harvest Organics subscriber, you can buy them from the add ons list, same with Bari’s awesome, so awesome, olive oil.) They have these amazing bring orangey-yellow yolks and incredibly hard shells. Wowza! I combined them with just a few springy ingredients for this simple Frittata: asparagus, mushrooms, green garlic, potatoes, fresh parsley, and leeks. Toss in a bit of salt and pepper, and you’re almost ready to eat.
The Frittata is topped with Parmesan cheese and baked to perfection. Then it’s time to have a bite. Yes, I ate what appears on the fork below. It’s hard to wait for dinner on filming days.
Welp, that’s 60 episodes done done done. Thanks for watching and being a part of this yummy journey.

Note: you may want to oil your pan a little more than I did. I have a bit of a time cleaning it, but it was worth it (stuck on cleaning in a Cast Iron skillet requires oil, salt, a paper towel or cloth, and lots of elbow grease).
