Believe it or not, I’ve only made one other meatloaf (Mediterranean Meatloaf). However, we have a lot of ground venison/beef to use up so I thought I’d give this recipe a try.
Pin ItThe “Getting Desperate” Spring Breakfast Scramble
June 15, 2011 By 9 Comments
I looked over the recent recipes I’ve posted, and boy, am I getting lazy! And despite my best efforts, I have not made a dent in the greens. I’m going to have to freeze some. My next pickup is tomorrow, yikes. I find myself putting greens in EVERYTHING. As an example, here’s my go-to breakfast during CSA season.
Rutabaga and Greens Fritatta (Dark Days Challenge)
January 17, 2010 By 1 Comment
For this week’s Dark Days Challenge, I decided that I had better start using all the rutabagas that I’ve been amassing from my winter CSA. I started by looking through the recipes that Eater’s Guild had sent me. In the interest of full disclosure, I should state that DH was highly skeptical. He hates rutabagas and turnips, or so he claims. So he did go out and buy very un-local, un-environmentally friendly salmon and made it in his smoker thing {Read More}
Dark Days Challenge: Honey Baked Chicken, Collards, and Apples & Squash
January 7, 2010 By 7 Comments
Can I just say, this was the most delicious meal I’ve had in awhile? This Dark Days Challenge thing is harder than I thought it would be. Before I started this challenge, I thought I had the eating local thing down pat. What I didn’t realize was, how very hard it is to have every. single. ingredient local. So many times, the sides are mostly local, but the meat isn’t. Or the meat is, but the sides aren’t. Or I {Read More}
Dark Days Challenge: Fiery Chicken and Greens
December 20, 2009 By Leave a Comment
WARNING: This recipe not for the faint of heart or weak of colon. I decided to combine two challenges today. My blogger friend FJ, whose blog is www.flawlessfitnessbook.com, asked me to create a meaty dish with some sort of high-water content vegetable, preferably spicy. His audience is a bunch of hard-core bodybuilders (although, I love his style of writing and find his advice just as helpful for a regular old person trying to lose weight and get more fit). I {Read More}
Greens in Peanut Sauce
October 31, 2009 By 2 Comments
From time to time, people tell me that they love the Simply in Season cookbook, but they don’t know what to make from it. Some of the recipes scare them, so they are glad that I’m doing this project so they can see how the dish turns out. Greens in Peanut Sauce is one of those recipes that I tried almost as soon as I bought the book. I had just returned from Malawi and was used to the flavor {Read More}
Mixed Greens Saute'
October 23, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It’s funny how your tastes change over time. A few years ago I had no idea what to do with greens. Now, I look for opportunities to incorporate them into the menu. Tonight is a great example. We had leftover red lentil curry to use up, so I made some rice. But I felt the need for green. So I made this recipe from Simply in Season. Boil 1/2 C of water and add 8 sun-dried tomatoes. Stir and let {Read More}
Savory Kale

As I mentioned before, this year I have a newfound appreciation for greens because of a “cooking with greens” class I took at my CSA. Knowledge is power! For this dish I used collard greens and a few winter radish tops since that’s what I had jumping out at me from the refrigerator. Which reminds me, I need to get in there and do some freezing of the vegetables that I haven’t cooked yet and are in danger of going {Read More}
