This is seriously my favorite way to have mixed greens yet! I am definitely acquiring a taste for the bitters, and this pizza was fabulous.
The “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.
Pasta with Bacon and Mixed Greens
June 13, 2011 By 12 Comments
Here’s another super easy (and fast) “recipe” that I made up this past weekend. I have discovered that I much prefer to use the spicy salad green mix in cooked form rather than try to eat a salad that makes my eyes water. A quick saute’ makes the heat much more bearable.
Crustless Zucchini Tomato Quiche

OK so I didn’t have enough tomatoes to make this as written. I sort of ate the handful of ripe cherry tomatoes that I had picked for this recipe. Oops. So I added some chopped kale. That’s the nice thing about Simply in Season. They actually give you permission to make substitutions! An added bonus of that feature in this book is that after a year, I’m finally getting the hang of usual substitutions, and carrying that knowledge over to {Read More}
Mixed Greens Master Mix
July 20, 2010 By 4 Comments
Actually, I have no idea if that’s the title of this recipe or not. My good friend Cindy does cooking demos at our CSA and last week she made several dishes based on this “master mix.” I’m waiting for the recipes to be emailed to us with our next weekly enewsletter, but in the meantime I bugged Cindy for the recipe and this is pretty close to what she made. It’s very versatile and is great for those greens that {Read More}
Veggie Burrito Bake

The original recipe from Simply in Season calls for 16 cups of spinach. Unfortunately I don’t get near that much spinach from my CSA. But you know what I do get oodles of? Swiss Chard! So I substituted two bunches of Swiss Chard (one from last week’s pickup, one from this week’s) for this dish.
Grilled Sausages with Baby Turnips and Turnip Greens
June 24, 2010 By 4 Comments
So I had these spring turnips from the CSA pickup and no recipes in Simply In Season that called for them. Lucky me, I have a couple of cookbooks in my “to review” pile. I found a recipe in Eating Local: The Cookbook Inspired by America’s Farmers that sounded good. (Look for the review next Friday!)
Sausage and Greens Soup

Simply In Season calls this “Weed Soup” in the recipe notes. It’s a great way to use up CSA leftovers!
Three Pea or Greens Stir Fry
June 16, 2010 By 4 Comments
Although the title of this recipe from Simply in Season is Three Pea Stir fry, I’m doing the greens version. I have some bok choy that should be used up from my CSA pickup. I planted some peas, but they are not up yet. The CSA u-pick peas have not started yet. Some peas are available at the farmer’s market but I figured hey, why not use what I have? Now that’s a novel concept!
Dandelion Bacon Salad
June 11, 2010 By 8 Comments
While the title of this recipe is Dandelion Bacon Salad, Simply in Season says you can use any kind of greens. Good thing; while I do have dandelions in my yard, I do have two dogs. Our neighbors also have dogs. So I felt much safer just using some of the greens that came with my first CSA pickup.
