I think duck eggs are available year round, but I seem to notice them at the farmers market more in the spring. So I decided to pick some up and make a frittata.

Creamed (Asparagus or) Spinach (Omelet)

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.

Behold, the frittata. I had to repost this recipe from last year for egg week in our Back to Basics cooking series. Frittatas are so easy, perfect for using up leftovers and they go together quickly.

When I was researching tarts for this week’s Back to Basics theme, I combed my archives and discovered Plum Tomato Pie. At the time, I described it as “Not really a pie, more like a pizza.” Now I realize it was a galette! Or tart, whichever you want to call it.

Penne-Wise Pumpkin Pasta

There was a gorgeous hubbard squash (a small-ish one) sitting on the counter for the past few weeks. I was waiting to decide what to do with it. When DH went hunting, I decided that I wanted to make something with squash. Nothing fussy, preferably something I could use as a main dish (for myself, and I don’t mind vegetarian). Rachel Ray to the rescue!

My husband claims that since this has no meat in it, I cannot call it chili. Moreover, “chili” with beans is not chili, either. I’m not sure who makes up the rules, but this is called Vegetarian Chili in Simply in Season. Pin It

We are gradually getting over our colds here at the Hammond household, but soup is still the food of choice. Since I had potatoes from last week’s CSA pickup I went looking for a soup that incorporated them. It was a bonus that this recipe happened to incorporate another of my favorite foods–mushrooms!
