And Then There Were 60 – Episode 60

Written by , Posted in A Cooking Show with Rachel O, Abundant Harvest Organics, This Week's Feast, Thoughts

SpringFrittata7It 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.

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).

Dos and Don’ts

Written by , Posted in Thoughts

TacoSoup2I have some instructions for you regarding this soup.

Do add cilantro. It brings just a little bit of brightness.

TacoSoup3

Do respect your Husband’s wishes if he says that no you shouldn’t bring this to lunch with your girlfriends tomorrow because he likes it so much.

TacoSoup4

Do eat this cold with chips, salsa, and Greek yogurt standing beside the kitchen counter tomorrow. Trust me.

TacoSoup6

Don’t not make this.

TacoSoup5

That’s all I have to say about that.
