Today marks week 2 of my CSA. I’ve been slowly using all of the veggies from last week’s booty but last night when looking the fridge I realized that I hadn’t really utilized any of the greens. They were sort just hanging out, wilting, and looking for a recipe to be part of. I had beet greens and spinach. Sauté? No that’s boring, soup, ughh its too hot, Quiche, yes perfect. Also had some left over strawberries that I threw in the freezer for smoothies or margaritas.

Hi Mel,
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed this one until today. All the veggies look great! How is the CSA working out for you? Your quiche recipe looks really delicious. I love quiche and love the fact that you can throw anything that you have in it. Great way to use up produce before it spoils. The pickles look good....just need a bag of chips to compliment them. Try not to eat chips very often, but necessary when you are having homemade pickles.
