I love spring! Spinach and Swiss Chard are available at the farmer’s market, and so I couldn’t resist using the “Hellmann’s mayo technique” one more time using a recipe that features fresh spinach.

I couldn’t let egg week go by without mentioning omelets! They are so yummy, and not as difficult to make as one might think.

This year we have been getting a lot of spinach with our CSA share. I don’t remember getting this much in the past; I think we used to get a small bunch with the root attached on occasion. But this year I’ve gotten a pound and .6 pounds of cut spinach the past two weeks. So I decided to revisit this recipe, which is a favorite of our CSA community.

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.

I had a bag of spinach to use up and no idea what to do with it. I thought hmm, pasta sounds good tonight. So I searched the internet and found my inspiration from Aggie’s Kitchen.

This recipe from Simply in Season is simply the best–although I did take some creative license, as you’ll see!

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.

Spring has sprung! It seems like overnight the farmer’s market is suddenly bursting with lettuce, spinach, and strawberries. I can finally get started on the spring recipes from Simply in Season like this one.
